This course teaches techniques for the design and analysis of efficient algorithms, emphasizing methods useful in practice. Topics covered include: sorting; search trees, heaps, and divide-and-conquer; dynamic programming; graph algorithms; shortest paths. To show not only how to solve particular problems, but also how to solve new problems when they arise in the future.
