Algorithms Specialization by Coursera

Computer science is based on algorithms. This subject is both practical and intellectually deep. For those who have some programming experience, this specialization introduces you to algorithms. Although this specialization is rigorous, it emphasizes conceptual understanding and the bigger picture rather than details and low-level execution. This specialization will help you excel in technical interviews, and allow you to communicate fluently about algorithms with computer scientists.
