This course has wonderful lectures coupled with challenging but rewarding homework problems. It was a wonderful learning experience.
The primary topics in this part of the specialization are: greedy algorithms (scheduling, minimum spanning trees, clustering, Huffman codes) and dynamic programming (knapsack, sequence alignment, optimal search trees).

Best (not one of the best) course available on web to learn theoretical algorithms. You will love it. Enjoy new journey and perspect to view and analyze algorithms. Loved it damn!

I love Tim's excitement for algorithms. He really stands out as a quality teacher in his selection of content, explanations and enthusiasm.

A more explanatory answer sheet would be helpful. Might need to be secured via limited time login session to avoid leaking on the web.

I am very confident in the skills I learned. I have read some books on algorithms but this course makes the application so clear regardless of your programing language.

One of the best courses to make a student learn DP in a way that enables him/her to think of the subproblems and way to proceed to solving these subproblems. Definitely helpful for me. Thanks.

I learned more about Greedy Algorithms and Algorithms to compute MST's and their importance on real world problems. Also I got to start to understand Dynamic Programming in a way I didn't before.

As usual with Stanford and Tim Roughgarden, a high-quality course with an informal style but a lot of rigor. The assignments are challenging but doable. Highly recommended.

A bit more difficult course comparing to the first two parts. Be prepared to spend more times on problem solving and programming assignments.
SK
Fantastic course that covered a good variety of content in sufficient details and delves into the fundamentals without sacrificing clarity.
DZ
A very good and challenging course. A great introduction to dynamic programming with many examples to practice and learn multiple programming paradigms.

I love how clear the videos (and notes) are and re-watching them really helped a lot! I wish there was more discussion on the forms though!
