Algorithmic Design and Techniques
Algorithms and Data Structures,
In this course, part of the Algorithms and Data Structures MicroMasters program, you will learn basic algorithmic techniques and ideas for computational problems, which arise in practical applications such as sorting and searching, divide and conquer, greedy algorithms and dynamic programming.
This course will cover theories, including:
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).
What you'll learn
- Essential algorithmic techniques - greedy algorithms, divide and conquer, binary search, sorting, dynamic programming
- Best practices of implementing algorithms efficiently
- Ways of testing and debugging programs

What people are saying
solid background in mathematics
This course is a lot more work than its authors claim, and if you don't have a solid background in mathematics, you're likely to find those aspects of the syllabus poorly explained.
instructors have strong accents
The instructors have strong accents, are prone to labouring some simple points and glossing over others, and aren't particularly engaging, save for one or two.
labouring some simple points
code they give
But some of the code they give you is slapdash and hard to test, and don't expect anyone to help you when you get stuck.
