Algorithms for Dummies

Feel the algorithm and join the data dance
Algorithms are everywhere-in your web browser, your music app, the grocery store checkout, and possibly even in your car. Algorithms For Dummies will show you what they're doing and how you can do it, too. You'll learn to manipulate and structure data, build graphs using Python® programming language, and use basic programming techniques to make your algorithms run more smoothly. You might not be able to write an algorithm for a self-driving car or for a virtual assistant...but then again, maybe you will, with the solid foundation you'll build in this book.
Inside... - Create algorithms the easy way with the Python® language - Practical real-world algorithm uses - Approaches to solving difficult problems - Online access to code - World-famous algorithms - Tips on working with big data - Discover practical algorithm history
