Syllabus

WEEK 1
Introduction to the coding interview
In this introductory module, you'll learn about a coding interview, what it could consist of, and the types of coding interviews you might encounter. You’ll learn about how to prepare for a coding interview, focusing on communication and working with pseudocode. You will also get an introduction to computer science, including the fundamental concepts of Binary, Big O notation, and time and space complexity.

WEEK 2
Introduction to Data Structures
The second module of this course covers data structures. You'll learn about the implementation and capabilities of data structures between various programming languages and the similar patterns of the overarching architecture. You will learn about basic data structures, such as strings, integers, arrays and objects, before moving on to collection data structures, including lists, stacks and trees, and advanced data structures, such as hash tables, heaps and graphs.

WEEK 3
Introduction to Algorithms
In this module, you'll learn about algorithms. You'll cover common approaches to sorting and searching with algorithms. You’ll also explore the time and space complexity aspects of both sorting and searching. You will then learn more about working with algorithms, demonstrating how to visualize and problem solve with algorithmic approaches, such as divide and conquer, greedy algorithms and dynamic programming.

WEEK 4
Final project
In this module, you will be assessed on the key concepts and topics covered in the course.

Computer Science

Many real-world algorithmic problems cannot be solved efficiently using traditional algorithmic tools, for example because the problems are NP-hard. The goal of this course is to become familiar with important algorithmic concepts and techniques needed to effectively deal with such problems. These techniques apply when we don't require the optimal solution to certain problems, but an approximation that is close to the optimal solution. We will see how to efficiently find such approximations.

CS: Software Engineering CS: Theory

A modern VLSI chip is a remarkably complex beast: billions of transistors, millions of logic gates deployed for computation and control, big blocks of memory, embedded blocks of pre-designed functions designed by third parties (called “intellectual property” or IP blocks). How do people manage to design these complicated chips? Answer: a sequence of computer aided design (CAD) tools takes an abstract description of the chip, and refines it step-wise to a final design.
