About the Course

The primary topics in this part of the specialization are: asymptotic ("Big-oh") notation, sorting and searching, divide and conquer (master method, integer and matrix multiplication, closest pair), and randomized algorithms (QuickSort, contraction algorithm for min cuts)....

Well researched. Topics covered well, with walkthrough for exam.le cases for each new introduced algorithm. Great experience, learned a lot of important algorithms and algorithmic thinking practices.

Thank you for teaching me this course. I learned a lot of new things, including Divide-and-Conquer, MergeSort, QuickSort, and Randomization Algorithms, along with proof for their asymptotic runtime

Great, this course is not simply a course on how algorithms are made but the essence of each one is explained.

Fascinating course! This may be an unpopular opinion, but I loved the mathematical analysis of the algorithms.

Универской математики хватает для понимания (Матанализ незамысловатый + теорвер базовый). Мне понравился курс

Some of the homeworks were difficult, but implementing the algorithms is the best way to really learn them.

Can you do better in those technical interviews?

Yes! if you take this course.

I recommend buying the book.

Really helpful as a start of algorithm learning. And it is good to require only one kind of language.
