This course will guide you through the essential principles of algorithms and their significance in computational problem-solving. You'll begin by exploring what an algorithm is, its core characteristics, and how it applies to real-world scenarios—from simple everyday tasks to complex computing challenges. As you progress, you will learn about the critical role algorithms play in improving efficiency and scalability across various fields. We’ll break down key concepts such as algorithmic complexity, helping you evaluate the efficiency of different approaches, which will ultimately guide your decision-making.

In this module, you will explore the powerful and elegant Gale-Shapley algorithm, originally developed to solve the stable marriage problem. This algorithm, widely used in real-world applications such as college admissions and job matching, ensures that individuals are paired in a way that avoids instability—where two participants could form a better match with someone else. By understanding the principles behind stable matching and the mechanics of this algorithm, you'll gain insight into one of the most influential solutions in game theory, optimization, and computer science.

In this module, you'll begin by summarizing key concepts like computational tractability, asymptotic growth, and the notations used to evaluate algorithm efficiency. You'll then dive into time complexity, learning how to optimize algorithms for different scenarios and classify them into appropriate complexity classes. By the end, you'll be able to apply these analysis techniques to real-world problems, optimizing solutions while considering the implications and limitations of algorithm analysis.

Foire Aux Questions
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policy.
