Course Overview
The certificate programme on Algorithmic Toolbox by Coursera is an intermediate level course that will cover basic ideas for problems arising in the practical applications of computational problems, algorithmic techniques, greedy algorithms, Sorting and searching, Dynamic programming, and divide and conquer. The course offers a lot of theory and understanding of the burning questions in programming. It helps candidates develop an understanding of how to solve the most commonly arising problem and how they can break it into pieces and solve them recursively, Further how they can sort data and how it can help in searching, when it is ok to proceed greedily and how genomic studies use dynamic programming.
The candidates will be given enough practice in solving the computational problems, implement the solutions efficiently, design new algorithms, and ensure the easy and smooth running of the programs. This course forms a part of specialisation in Data structures and algorithm specialisation, for candidates willing to learn more about the topic and further continue to take the specialization too.
For candidates and professionals willing to learn about the new challenges in programming and better equip themselves for staying relevant in the industry this course on Algorithmic Toolbox will offer a much better understanding of the subject and help them take the next step in their career.
