Introduction to Algorithms: Course Description
Computer algorithms are the basic techniques or step-by-step instructions that guide computers through the completion of a task. 'Introduction to Algorithms' is a free OpenCourseWare provided by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is taught in series of lectures given by Professors Erik Demaine and Charles Leiserson of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. The course focuses on methods for designing and evaluating efficient and effective algorithms. A solid background in a programming language and discrete mathematics and probability will help students to get the most out of the course. Students will develop their mastery of algorithms by examining a variety of topics, such as sorting, search trees, heaps and hashing, divide and conquer and dynamic programming.
The course materials for 'Introduction to Algorithms' include lecture notes that are available in video, audio, html and PDF formats. Downloadable assignments and exams and a comprehensive bibliography are also available. If you would like to take advantage of this OpenCourseWare, visit the introduction to algorithms course page.
