Sorting. It’s a classic problem that’s been studied for decades, and it’s a great first step towards “thinking algorithmically.” Over the years, a handful of sorting algorithms have ...

sorting algorithms, recurrence relations, divide and conquer algorithms, greedy algorithms, dynamic programming, linear programming, graph algorithms, problems in P and NP, and approximation ...

But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is sometimes the best way to solve systems of linear equations ... Instead of making just a single guess, their algorithm makes ...

For example, sorting algorithms turn unordered data into data ordered by some criteria, often the numeric or alphabetical order of one or more fields in the data. Linear regression algorithms fit ...

See How It Works for details. This course continues our data structures and algorithms specialization by focussing on the use of linear and integer programming formulations for solving algorithmic ...
