Lecture

Merge Sort: Sorting Algorithm

Description

This lecture covers the merge sort algorithm, which recursively divides a list into two sublists, sorts them, and then merges them back together. The correctness of the algorithm is explained through inductive arguments and base cases. The lecture also discusses the travel time complexity of merge sort and compares it with other sorting algorithms like quicksort and insertion sort.
