Overview
In the Algorithmic Design and Techniques Certificate, part of the Algorithms and Data Structures MicroMasters Program from EdX in partnership with University of California, San Diego - UC San DiegoX, 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
