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.

Please improve the video narration of some teachers as it gets really confusing sometimes what they are talking about

All the lectures are nice, but instead of materials lectures should be more. All over very nice course for beginners.

It's great course for the beginner who doesn't have many foundations of the algorithm, especially Dynamic Algorithms.

Really challenging course... But it requires some level of knowledge pre-requisite.. else it is more time consuming..

A great course on Algorithm independent of language, you can learn algorithm whatever language you are working with.

Great course, unfourtunately some of the subtitles in english were wrong and had to review the lessons several times

Assignments are of very good standard! I'd say they are tough and challenging which was the best part of the course.

It was difficult but somewhat easy to understand,

even though I didn't have enough knowledge of mathematics to start.

Great fun for long-time professional. It's worth it to review these algorithms, as they're still interview material.

Very nice concepts explained but I found myself having to repeat videos very often to understand a concept properly

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.
