Description
explores Algorithms is an introduction to algorithms using Python programming. This book takes you on a wide-ranging tour of many interesting algorithms, from standard computer science techniques to human-based solutions and advanced machine learning methods. You'll explore how algorithms are used in everyday life, such as calculating the best amount of food at a buffet or determining how to catch a baseball. You'll also learn about ancient algorithms used by Egyptians and Greeks, and how Japanese scholars designed algorithms for generating magic squares. In addition, you'll discover algorithms useful in pure mathematics and learn how mathematical ideas can improve algorithm design. With little more than basic computer programming experience and high-school math, you'll gain a solid understanding of standard algorithms and be able to apply them to real-world problems.
