Learn Algorithms, Part I, on Coursera - Study Group - First Meeting
Roll back
| description |
My name is John, and I'm hoping to form a study group to learn Algorithms, Part I, on Coursera: https://www.coursera.org/course/algs4partI
Coursera will be teaching a class on Algorithms, opening on January 31st. As anyone in the software engineering industry knows, learning algorithms is crucial to becoming a strong developer. Most major tech companies force applicants to go through rounds of algorithmic design questions in their interviews.
Email me at [email protected] or text/call at 501 655 2961. Location TBA, based on what's convenient for all of us.
DESCRIPTION FROM COURSERA:
About the Course
An introduction to fundamental data types, algorithms, and data structures, with emphasis on applications and scientific performance analysis of Java implementations. Specific topics covered include: union-find algorithms; basic iterable data types (stack, queues, and bags); sorting algorithms (quicksort, mergesort, heapsort) and applications; priority queues; binary search trees; red-black trees; hash tables; and symbol-table applications.
Recommended Background
All you need is a basic familiarity with programming in Java. This course is primarily aimed at first- and second-year undergraduates interested in engineering or science, along with high school students and professionals with an interest (and some background) in programming.
