This course is an introduction to algorithms for learners with at least a little programming experience. The course is rigorous but emphasizes the big picture and conceptual understanding over low-level implementation and mathematical details. After completing this course, you will be well-positioned to ace your technical interviews and speak fluently about algorithms with other programmers and computer scientists. Specific topics include: "Big-oh" notation, sorting and searching, divide and conquer (master method, integer and matrix multiplication, closest pair), randomized algorithms (QuickSort, contraction algorithm for min cuts), data structures (heaps, balanced search trees, hash tables, bloom filters), graph primitives (applications of BFS and DFS, connectivity, shortest paths). About the instructor: Tim Roughgarden has been a professor in the Computer Science Department at Stanford University since 2004. He has taught and published extensively on the subject of algorithms and their applications.</span></div></div></div><div class="toggle-button-wrapper" data-reactid=".2276bjcxudc.0.0.1.1.0.0.0:$section_overview.1.1.0.1" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 5px;"><br /></div></div></div><div class="target-audience-section" data-reactid=".2276bjcxudc.0.0.1.1.0.0.0:$section_overview.1.2" style="background-color: whitesmoke; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: OpenSans, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 20px;"><div class="body-1-text course-description" data-reactid=".2276bjcxudc.0.0.1.1.0.0.0:$section_overview.1.2.0" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;"><strong class="body-2-text" data-reactid=".2276bjcxudc.0.0.1.1.0.0.0:$section_overview.1.2.0.0" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Who is this class for: </strong><span data-reactid=".2276bjcxudc.0.0.1.1.0.0.0:$section_overview.1.2.0.1" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Learners with at least a little bit of programming experience who want to learn the essentials of algorithms.

In this course you will learn the inner workings of cryptographic systems and how to correctly use them in real-world applications. The course begins with a detailed discussion of how two parties who have a shared secret key can communicate securely when a powerful adversary eavesdrops and tampers with traffic. We will examine many deployed protocols and analyze mistakes in existing systems. The second half of the course discusses public-key techniques that let two parties generate a shared secret key. Throughout the course participants will be exposed to many exciting open problems in the field and work on fun (optional) programming projects. In a second course (Crypto II) we will cover more advanced cryptographic tasks such as zero-knowledge, privacy mechanisms, and other forms of encryption.</span></div>
