Course details

Skills you will learn
More about this course
  • We?ll implement (in Python) together efficient programs for a problem needed by delivery companies all over the world millions times per day ? the travelling salesman problem. The goal in this problem is to visit all the given places as quickly as possible. How to find an optimal solution to this problem quickly? We still don?t have provably efficient algorithms for this difficult computational problem and this is the essence of the P versus NP problem, the most important open question in Computer Science. Still, we?ll implement several solutions for real world instances of the travelling salesman problem. While designing these solutions, we will rely heavily on the material learned in the courses of the specialization: proof techniques, combinatorics, probability, graph theory. We?ll see several examples of using discrete mathematics ideas to get more and more efficient solutions.
