How many MIT courses are there?

With so many courses online, currently over 2,300, we’re always working on better ways to help you find courses and make sense of the collection. This new, interactive visualization tool, the MIT Undergraduate Curriculum Map, is a great way to explore what OCW’s broad, curriculum coverage really means.

What are algorithms in technology?

An algorithm is simply a set of steps used to complete a specific task. They’re the building blocks for programming, and they allow things like computers, smartphones, and websites to function and make decisions. In addition to being used by technology, a lot of things we do on a daily basis are similar to algorithms.

What classes should I take to learn about algorithms?

The class following this one, 6.046 Designing Analysis of Algorithms, is a class that you should take if you like this one. And you can do a whole lot more design of algorithms in 6.046. But you will look at classic data structures and classical algorithms for these data structures, including things like sorting and matching, and so on.

What is MIT OpenCourseWare?

MIT OpenCourseWare is a free & open publication of material from thousands of MIT courses, covering the entire MIT curriculum. No enrollment or registration. Freely browse and use OCW materials at your own pace.

What does the algorithms and data structures course cover?

It covers the common algorithms, algorithmic paradigms, and data structures used to solve these problems. The course emphasizes the relationship between algorithms and programming, and introduces basic performance measures and analysis techniques for these problems.

How many versions of 0ocw’s design and analysis of algorithms are there?

OCW has published multiple versions of this subject. This course is the first part of a three-course sequence. The sequence continues in 6.046J Design and Analysis of Algorithms.
