Introduction to Algorithms
Learn how to make a computer do what you want, elegantly and efficiently.
15 LessonsCourse description
An algorithm is a step-by-step process to achieve some outcome. When algorithms involve a large amount of input data, complex manipulation, or both, we need to construct clever algorithms that a computer can work through quickly.
By the end of this course, you’ll have mastered the fundamental problems in algorithms.
