Description

This course is about advanced algorithms (graph algorithms) focusing on graph traversal, shortest path problems, spanning trees and maximum flow problems and a lots of its applications from Google Web Crawler to taking advantage of stock market arbitrage situations. 

Section 1:

  • the basic graph traversal algorithm

  • breadth-first search algorithm

  • depth-first search algorithm

Section 2:

  • shortest path algorithms

  • Dijkstra's algorithm

  • Bellman-Ford algorithm

Section 3:

  • what are spanning trees

  • union find data structures

  • Kruskal's algorithm

  • Prim's algorithm

Section 4:

  • what are strongly connected components

  • Kosaraju algorithm

  • Tarjan algorithm

Section 5:

  • the famous maximum flow problem

  • how to reduce most of the hard problems to maximum flow problem

  • Ford-Fulkerson algorithm

  • bipartite matching problem

Section 6:

  • travelling salesman problem (TSP)

  • how to deal with NP-hard problems

  • using meta-heuristics: tabu search and simulated annealing

Section 7:

  • eulerian paths and eulerian cycles

  • Hierholzer algorithm and the Chinese Postman Problem

The course is going to take approximately 10 hours to completely but I highly suggest you typing these algorithms out several times in order to get a good grasp of it. You can download the source code of the whole course at the last lecture. 

You should definitely take this course if you are interested in advanced topics concerning algorithms. There are a bunch of fields where these methods can be used: from software engineering to scientific research.

Thanks for joining the course, let's get started!

Who this course is for:
  • This course is meant for everyone from scientists to software developers who want to get closer to algorithmic thinking in the main

It’s a very good course and explained very well. The only reason I gave 4.5 stars is because of authors accent, it takes sometime to understand. Other than that it’s very good course, I would recommend it to everyone.

Kosaraju algorithm introduction
08:19

We create the helper classes and again, the Graph class. We transpose our directed graph inside this Graph class, because in Kosaraju algorithm we have to do the first DFS (topological ordering) in the transposed graph.

(transposing a graph is just to reverse each edge: startVertex will be targetVertex and targetVertex will be the startVertex)

Kosaraju implementation I - the Graph class
07:18

We create our class in which we will perform the first DFS on the transposed graph
