Introduction to Foundry Algorithmic Development with Rust

How to start developing new and improved Dapps with Rust?

Let’s learn the exciting optimizations possible with Rust, and let’s start with algorithmic sufficiency first.

Students will learn how to calculate algorithmic efficiency and complexity, and how to design algorithms that are both correct and efficient. The course will cover several algorithmic paradigms, such as divide-and-conquer, dynamic programming, and greedy algorithms. Additionally, the course will introduce students to algorithmic techniques for specific types of problems, such as sorting, searching, graph traversal, and dynamic programming. This course will provide students with a solid foundation in algorithms, including their design, analysis, and implementation. Students will learn to evaluate algorithmic efficiency and complexity and to design algorithms that are both correct and efficient.
