These are accessible & enjoyable. I am on lecture 12 and learning a lot. Warning: some topics, such as sorting on a machine with unrealistically huge word size, are of only theoretical interest (but it's great theory).
Which to you recommend as most practical to learn, for folks on short time budget?
Geometric, lectures 3 and 4; helps (at least for me) to have a picture of the problem as a guide
