This course aims to develop your ability to identify key structural components in algorithms, problems and domains alike, and to exploit them to create provably computationally efficient solutions. This course builds on basic skills obtained in the pre-requisite 'Algorithm Design and Analysis' course to provide you with intricate, elegant and actionable algorithmic design patterns; and develop your skill in exploiting salient problem features to facilitate computation. Algorithms and designs presented in this course were at the beginning of multiple disciplines that now dominate the IT industry, and serve as a stepping stone for your further development for such roles as an algorithms engineer/developer or an applied researcher in computer technologies.
