Looking for study group: Data structures and Algorithms

12th August, 2022
Last date to join: 31st August, 2022

I'm currently working my way through Introduction to Algorithms and thought it might be useful/fun to run through it with other people. As a self taught dev it's often easy to get stuck or demotivated, and having others to share knowledge /encourage / generally uplift is bound to be helpful. I often find talking someone else through a problem helps me solidify my own understanding. For background, I'm already a senior dev in the VFX industry, but at university I studied animation, and I'm working my way through this suggested curriculum to round off my CS knowledge. If we get a group going I would probably aim to have an hour call once a week to go through the problem sets, discuss the chapter, and then maybe a freer discussion about related topics. Let me know if you're interested!

Description

This course teaches techniques for the design and analysis of efficient algorithms, emphasizing methods useful in practice. Topics covered include: sorting; search trees, heaps, and hashing; divide-and-conquer; dynamic programming; amortized analysis; graph algorithms; shortest paths; network flow; computational geometry; number-theoretic algorithms; polynomial and matrix calculations; caching; and parallel computing. This course was also taught as part of the [Singapore-MIT Alliance](http://web.mit.edu/sma/) (SMA) programme as course number SMA 5503 (Analysis and Design of Algorithms).
