Course Description

Overview

The primary topics in this part of the specialization are: data structures (heaps, balanced search trees, hash tables, bloom filters), graph primitives (applications of breadth-first and depth-first search, connectivity, shortest paths), and their applications (ranging from deduplication to social network analysis).

Syllabus

  • Week 1
    • Breadth-first and depth-first search; computing strong components; applications.
  • Week 2
    • Dijkstra's shortest-path algorithm.
  • Week 3
    • Heaps; balanced binary search trees.
  • Week 4
    • Hashing; bloom filters.
