Competitive programming course
By SuprDewd, 10 years ago, In English

My teammate and I held a competitive programming course at Reykjavík University in Iceland. Even though our students are Icelandic, we decided to have all material in English so we could share the course with you guys. So now we have published the slides, including LaTeX sources, the problem sets, and all supporting material. All of this can be found here.

Most of the material has a pretty open license, so you're free to do almost whatever you want with it. We hope you enjoy the material, and any suggestions for future iterations of the course are welcomed.

Thank you very much for sharing! That seems like a tremendous amount of material to cover and problems to solve in three weeks. Were students able to keep up?

Sorry guys, don't know why the host went down, but it's up again now. I'll contact my hosting provider to make sure this doesn't happen again.

I love the domain "algo.is"! This should be the domain of some major competitive programming platform. Thank you very much for sharing this course.

Hey SuprDewd!! The link to the course is giving an error and is inaccessible. Is it moved to any other place? Would be a great help if I could get the course materials. Thank you in advance. :)
