W1_L1.1: A generic optimization problem

Welcome to Week 1 Lecture 1 Part 1 of the course "Advanced Algorithms" by Prof. Neeldhara Misra. Full Course link: https://study.iitm.ac.in/ds/course_pa... Video Overview In this series of modules, we explore the notion of a combinatorial construct called a matroid, which allows us to identify certain structural aspects of a problem which guarantee the correctness of greedy algorithms.
