About the Course

How does Google Maps plan the best route for getting around town given current traffic conditions? How does an internet router forward packets of network traffic to minimize delay? How does an aid group allocate resources to its affiliated local partners? To solve such problems, we first represent the key pieces of data in a complex data structure. In this course, you’ll learn about data structures, like graphs, that are fundamental for working with structured real world data. You will develop, implement, and analyze algorithms for working with this data to solve real world problems. In addition, as the programs you develop in this course become more complex, we’ll examine what makes for good code and class hierarchy design so that you can not only write correct code, but also share it with other people and maintain it in the future. The backbone project in this course will be a route planning application. You will apply the concepts from each Module directly to building an application that allows an autonomous agent (or a human driver!) to navigate its environment. And as usual we have our different video series to help tie the content back to its importance in the real world and to provide tiered levels of support to meet your personal needs....

Great into to Java, instructors have clearly put thought in to the format with the choose your own learning style videos, and additional coverage where it may be needed. These have been very helpful.

Fantastic course! I would recommend to anyone interested in learning the graph data structure in a fun and hands-on and engaging way! Definitely one of the best courses I have followed on Coursera.

Pretty challenging but very interesting with a lot of useful assignments. Certainly good for those who aren't familiar with a data structure called graphs.

Good class. New to Java and this was a nice and manageable intro with some solid usable algorithmic practice thrown in. Only took about a week and a half.

Interesting close up on one particular data structure type (Graphs). Cool project that brings in real life applications of complex data structures.

Bravo! After I finished my AI class without understanding a thing about best path algorithms I thought I was done for. This course is a life saver.

It's good to start an algorithm of graph implementation. Except the first Assignment, the next following assignments are a little bit tough for me.

Very interesting and adaptative for the student as you can catch another later session.

I found there's a huge gap between week1 and week2.

Thanks

The content of the course is great. By having the concept challenges and real world tie-ins the professors ensure you've absorbed the concepts.

Really good explanations! Very clear and to the point. Also like the discussion sections by the students. (Although it seems heavily set-up)

I do not like the peer review setting. Because it takes such a long, long time to wait for enough people to review my housework. Thanks !

Very good course. Through this course. I got the basic ideas of BFS and DFS and other algorithms instead of just know how to write them.

I understood about graphs from here at last after trying various resources online but peace was attained here in this course
