Did you get through all of that content? Congratulations! You‘ve learnt the fundamentals of algorithms, plus a lot of example algorithms.

There is much more to learn, if you want to dig deeper. Just look at Wikipedia‘s list of algorithms - there are thousands of them out there, plus there are the ones in your head that haven‘t made it into programs yet.

Thomas Cormen, co-author of this content, has also co-authored two books on algorithms:

• Introduction to Algorithms: This is the most popular college textbook for algorithms. It is both rigorous—proving that algorithms are correct and have the claimed running times—and comprehensive—covering dozens of algorithms in over 1300 pages.
• Algorithms Unlocked: This is targeted more at readers who want to get a taste of algorithms and how to analyze them. It‘s less mathematical than Introduction to Algorithms, and it includes a little more in the way of intuition and applications.

Other recommended books are The Algorithm Design Manual and Algorithm Design.

There are also several free 2-part courses offered online on Coursera:

• Algorithms, I & II: An introductory course covering "basic iterable data types, sorting, and searching algorithms in Java".
• Algorithms: Design and Analysis Part I & II: An introductory course that covers the "fundamental principles of algorithm design: divide-and-conquer methods, graph algorithms, practical data structures, randomized algorithms, and more" while being language agnostic.

We do plan to keep adding to this content here on Khan Academy, so check back here every few months for updates.
