TOP REVIEWS FROM GREEDY ALGORITHMS, MINIMUM SPANNING TREES, AND DYNAMIC PROGRAMMING
I love how clear the videos (and notes) are and re-watching them really helped a lot! I wish there was more discussion on the forms though!
Course is great. However, for me, there's some lecture I cannot understand so I have to find another course with more explanation.
A more explanatory answer sheet would be helpful. Might need to be secured via limited time login session to avoid leaking on the web.
I love Tim's excitement for algorithms. He really stands out as a quality teacher in his selection of content, explanations and enthusiasm.
