This course continues our data structures and algorithms specialization by focussing on the use of linear and integer programming formulations for solving algorithmic problems that seek optimal ...

It covers basic algorithm design techniques such as divide and conquer, dynamic programming, and greedy algorithms. It concludes with a brief introduction to intractability (NP-completeness) .

Contrary to popular belief, programmers have a life, though mostly bound to their computers. One of the many incentives that make it so is programming competitions. Competitive programming is a ...
