Product Details
- An accessible introduction to algorithms, explaining not just what they are but how they work, with examples from a wide range of application areas.Digital technology runs on algorithms, sets of instructions that describe how to do something efficiently. Application areas range from search engines to tournament scheduling, DNA sequencing, and machine learning. Arguing that every educated person today needs to have some understanding of algorithms and what they do, in this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Panos Louridas offers an introduction to algorithms that is accessible to the nonspecialist reader. Louridas explains not just what algorithms are but also how they work, offering a wide range of examples and keeping mathematics to a minimum.After discussing what an algorithm does and how its effectiveness can be measured, Louridas covers three of the most fundamental applications areas: graphs, which describe networks, from eighteenth-century problems to today's social networks; searching, and how to find the fastest way to search; and sorting, and the importance of choosing the best algorithm for particular tasks. He then presents larger-scale applications: PageRank, Google's founding algorithm; and neural networks and deep learning. Finally, Louridas describes how all algorithms are nothing more than simple moves with pen and paper, and how from such a humble foundation rise all their spectacular achievements.

Intelligence & Semantics Editorial Review
This book offers an excellent introduction to the world of algorithms, starting with simple concepts and gradually progressing towards more complex ones. It emphasizes that algorithms are simply a framework for solving problems and can be done by hand. The chapters on search and sort are well done and the last chapter on Deep Learning does an excellent job of explaining the concept in a way that is simple to understand. This book is good preparation for entry-level studies in algorithms and programming logic. However, one review found the book to be too basic and written like a storybook. Another reader returned the book because they were disappointed with the author's initial focus on rhythmic patterns. Despite the mixed reviews, this book is recommended for those looking for a solid introduction to algorithms.
