An introduction to algorithms in Python

This introduction to algorithms course is a comprehensive kick-start into the beautiful world of computer science. This course will prepare you for a great job in a technical field and is an essential stepping stone for delving deeper into data-structures and algorithms, and programming in general.

In this course we will take a look at what computational complexity is, and the importance thereof, followed by 4 of the basic sorting algorithms (bubble sort, insertion sort, merge sort and quick sort) by visualisation and demonstration in Python.

All the course content is simple to understand and relevant to real world application.
