Algorithms Specialization – Coursera – Free download

Description

Algorithms Specialization is the name of a training set for thinking similar to a computer scientist, and with the help of this course, you will gain skills in the fundamental principles of designing and analyzing algorithms. Algorithms are the heart of computer science and this subject has countless practical applications. This course set provides an introduction to algorithms for learners who have little programming experience. Although this course is relatively hard, it emphasizes on the general and conceptual view of your understanding in the implementation of low level and partial mathematics. By the end of this course, you will be at a level where you can excel in technical interviews and speak fluently about algorithms with other programmers and computer scientists.

Skills you will acquire in the Algorithms Specialization series:

Algorithms
Dynamic programming
Greedy algorithm
Divide and conquer algorithms
randomization algorithm
Sorting algorithm
Charts
Data structure
Hash Table
A subgraph of a graph
Np-Completeness

Course prerequisites:

Learners should know how to program in at least one programming language (like C, Java, or Python); some familiarity with proofs, including proofs by induction and by contradiction; and some discrete probability, like how to calculate the probability that a poker hand is a full house. At Stanford, a version of this course is taken by sophomore, junior, and senior-level computer science majors.
