    About the Course

    In previous courses of our online specialization you've learned the basic algorithms, and now you are ready to step into the area of more
    complex problems and algorithms to solve them. Advanced algorithms build upon basic ones and use new ideas. We will start with networks
    flows which are used in more typical applications such as optimal matchings, finding disjoint paths and flight scheduling as well as more
    surprising ones like image segmentation in computer vision. We then proceed to linear programming with applications in optimizing budget
    allocation, portfolio optimization, finding the cheapest diet satisfying all requirements and many others. Next we discuss inhe...

    It's was great to learn advanced algorithms and complexity. Besides, I learn new topics that can help me further learning. All the problems and the lectures were very good.

    As usual, complex arguments explained in simple terms!Some problems are really tough! (e.g. there's a problem from Google Code Jam).Thank you for this course!

    Excellent course. One star less just because there are not very clean test cases for one particular problem among programming assignments

    Thank you so much. You are doing such a great work but i appreciate if you explain week-2 (linear programming) in detail. Thank you.

    Great course! , learned a lot of new algorithms.

    although week 2 could have been better.

    While I like the content of the course but I felt too much of topics were crammed into one single course. I had to struggle a lot to grasp the concepts on advanced algorithms by just relying on video lectures so I had to look around in the internet for additional resources. Nonetheless it was a satisfying experience though it took me a lot of time and effort to complete the assignments.

    A lot of really useful algorithms are covered in this course, however some of the presentation is annoyingly sparse on details (particularly in the section on network flows).

    Lectures are mostly good. Assignments not. They are often very difficult in an uninteresting way such as unintuitive input formats and / or template code.

    Too much emphasis on implementation details (99%), so one doesn't get a great intuitive understanding of the logic of algorithms.

    I'd give it more stars, but, sadly, when I started the specialization, the professors were very responsive and active in the forums, giving help and guidance.

    However, more than a year after the specialization started, (this is the fifth course), the professors were totally absent, precisely when I needed their help!

    I hope they'll be back or assign someone else to answer the questions of the students in the forums.
