A comment on MIT Design and Analysis of Algorithms (Spring 2015).

This is great! I just picked up the famous algorithms textbook (CLRS) and have been reading through (I'm just past the introduction and am moving in to chapters 1 - 3 (basing my schedule on the readings in this course)

I figure if I follow along in the videos it'll be a great compliment with the two of them enhancing each other.

Now if only I could find the "algorithms certificate" to go with it, maybe I could use this and my 15 years programming experience towards a master's program enrollment. (Along with a calculus and linear algebra)

Not sure.. CLRS is too dense for page-to-page reading. The more I was advancing through the book the more I was forgetting from the previous chapters... :)

It's a bit dense, but I found the first few chapters to be the worst. Once you get past the dull beginning, the rest is really interesting. I think it's a GREAT book! (We used it in all of my algorithms classes.)
