About the Course

This online course covers basic algorithmic techniques and ideas for computational problems arising frequently in practical applications: sorting and searching, divide and conquer, greedy algorithms, dynamic programming. We will learn a lot of theory: how to sort data and how it helps for searching; how to break a large problem into pieces and solve them recursively; when it makes sense to proceed greedily; how dynamic programming is used in genomic studies. You will practice solving computational problems, designing new algorithms, and implementing solutions efficiently (so that they run in less than a second)....

I liked the fact that the algorithms are not just the introductory searching and sorting algorithms. The assignments are fairly difficult (I have decent scripting experience), but not impossibly so.

The course was really amazing which provided deep knowledge from basic to advance that how algorithms works and how to design algorithms. Thanks to all the expert teachers who taught in this course.

Was a great review of the tools you'll want to be able to pull from and communicate through as a software engineer.

There are some issues are needed to be more detailed, and opposite some easy issues are explained too meticulously.

Solid content and well designed assignments. It would be better if more hints are provided for the assignments.

its overall nice but sometimes the instructor makes it boring as if he's just teaching without any interaction.

Hi,

Please cover few more examples on O(log n ) and O(n log n). O(n) and O(n2) was easy to understand.

Thank you

I enjoyed learning creating new solution and how can a particular problem can be solved by different approach.

Some algorithms were exceptionally good like greedy algos but divide and conquer algos meed to be improvised

Real good exercises were provided and the explanation to all the algorithms was also detailed and to the point

Fantastic course. Week 5 did not have enough explanation though. Apart from that the course was very valuable

Good course. Helps one apply their mind and solve. I only wish it had more exercises for asymptotic analysis.

A very diversified course with a wide variety of problems, some tricky enough to make you scratch your head.

everything is great, except it would be highly desirable to see the correct implementation of all the tasks

As a largely self taught programmer this is filling in important information I failed to pick up on my own.

Lovely Course. I like the small task in between the lectures that helps a lot in understanding the topics.

Some more tough and mind challenging questions should be added. A little intro to competitive programming.

Amazing course , but if possible should include implementation of more searching and sorting algorithms.

Pretty interesting and challenging. Some algorithms were not explained with much clarity towards the end.

강의의 편차가 있긴 하지만, 과제로 주어지는 문제가 난이도 별로 배치되어 있어 이를 통해 많이 배울 수 있습니다. 강의에 나온 내용을 구현하는 문제부터 응용하는 문제까지 골고루 있습니다.

Very good course. It illustrates many algorithms using simple ways, short videos and readable material.
