About the Course

In this online 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....

It's a great introductory course to these topics. I didn't particularly enjoy the puzzles and "treasure hunt" in Number Theory and Cryptography but it's just a matter of learning styles I guess.

This final course in 5 course specialization is relatively easy one, although the last problem takes little bit time to solve. Provides good introduction to difficult to learn Delivery problem.

I enjoyed the course, but I found that this required more advanced Python skills than I expected. Especially in the last couple of quizzes, I did not find that the course materials alone were sufficient to solve the problem and I had to supplement my knowledge of Python before I could solve them.

O curso é muito interessante, porém a explicação é um pouco confusa. Poderia ter uma explicação em vídeo da parte envolvendo programação, e não apenas deixar isso como tarefa

Great course, but complex matters need to explained more slowly and that's overall for all the specialization, but many thanks! those were some challenging courses!

The course could have allowed the learner to be more independent. Even after solving the quizzes I wasn't absolutely confident that I could repeat the results of the following in a similar circumstance. There was a lot of helper code which allowed for easier solving. I expected a tougher project. But otherwise, a well explained course, but still not a project.

It would be better if I could have the source code for the assignments. Sometimes when I wanted to debug my code on pycharm, I could not do anything because I did not know how to initialize a graph the assignment was using.

It would be better if there are materials about networkx and other relevant libraries.
