The basic algorithm used to make a matching between applicants and programs is fairly straightforward. An applicant — Alice — starts by applying to her first-choice program.

Algorithms are turning up in the most unlikely places, promising to assert mathematical probability into corners of our lives where intuition, instinct and hunches have long held sway.

This course continues our data structures and algorithms specialization by focussing on the use of linear and integer programming formulations for solving algorithmic problems that seek optimal ...

Ever wondered how computers multiply huge numbers with hundreds or even thousands of digits? The process may seem simple, but it gets incredibly complex as numbers grow. In this video, we explore the ...

Sequence alignment methods often use something called a 'dynamic programming' algorithm. What is dynamic programming and how does it work?
