About

This (undergraduate) course on algorithms assumes familiarity with basic techniques including dynamic programming, recursion (divide-and-conquer) and greedy.

We’ll study a sequence of algorithms that are easily stated, often surprisingly efficient, and sometimes easy to analyze. See the lectures page for a tentative list of topics.
