Learning Algorithms(and other subjects) from MIT

For those of your who are interested in polishing Algorithm skills either for your or for any Bachelor's level course work or for any interview, here is an excellent resource from a very accredited institution, MIT.

http://ocw.mit. edu/OcwWeb/ Electrical- Engineering- and-Computer- Science/6- 046JFall- 2005/CourseHome/ index.htm
(6.046J / 18.410J Introduction to Algorithms (SMA 5503), Fall 2005)

It includes Video lecture series which is indeed very easy and informative to learn from. I have taken few lectures and no doubt the subject is really very well explained. The Lecture slides and Video and Audio downloads are available at http://ocw.mit. edu/OcwWeb/Electrical- Engineering- and-Computer- Science/6- 046JFall- 2005/LectureNote s/index.htm

Interestingly, this is Bachelor's level course with both Basic and Advanced topics covered and it follows the same book which we are using now for our Algorithm course in UET-CS (Introduction to Algorithms, Second Edition, by Cormen, Leiserson, Rivest, and Stein).

Also few other very interesting Video Lecture series courses are listed below:

Few of my recommendations with Video Lecture Series for those who are interested:

6.033 Computer System Engineering (SMA 5501), Spring 2005http://ocw.mit. edu/OcwWeb/ Electrical- Engineering- and-Computer- Science/6- 033Spring- 2005/CourseHome/ index.htm

16.885J / ESD.35J Aircraft Systems Engineering, Fall 2005http://ocw.mit. edu/OcwWeb/ Aeronautics- and-Astronautics /16-885JFall- 2005/CourseHome/ index.htm

All rest of the courses can be found at http://ocw.mit. edu/OcwWeb/ Global/all- courses.htm

This is part of MIT's Open Course Ware Initiative: http://ocw.mit. edu/OcwWeb/ index.htm, now having a bigger consortium: http://ocwconsortiu m.org/

Enjoy learning.
