Course Content

Algorithms and Problem Solving
This topic focuses on teaching learners how to approach and solve problems using algorithms—step-by-step procedures that computers use to perform tasks. You’ll explore core concepts such as searching, sorting, recursion, and efficiency (Big O notation). Through hands-on coding exercises and real-world examples, you’ll learn how to design, analyze, and implement algorithms in programming languages like C or Python. The goal is to develop your ability to break down complex problems and create logical, optimized solutions—a fundamental skill in computer science and software development.

  • Introduction to Algorithms
  • Sorting Algorithms
  • Searching Techniques
  • Recursion and Problem Decomposition
  • Algorithm Efficiency and Big O Notation
