Description
Algorithms by Panos Louridas offers an accessible introduction to this fundamental concept in digital technology. Digital systems rely on algorithms, sets of instructions that describe how to achieve a specific goal efficiently. This book explores the world of algorithms, explaining what they are and how they work, with examples from various application areas. From search engines to tournament scheduling, DNA sequencing, and machine learning, algorithms play a crucial role in many fields. The author argues that every educated person today needs some understanding of algorithms and their applications. Louridas covers three fundamental areas: graphs, searching, and sorting, before moving on to larger-scale applications like PageRank and neural networks. At its core, an algorithm is a simple sequence of steps that can be performed with pen and paper. This book reveals how such basic concepts give rise to the sophisticated achievements we see in digital technology today.
