| Summary | Algorithms demystifies the core principles behind digital technology by explaining how efficient algorithms drive everything from search engines to DNA sequencing to machine learning. Louridas begins by defining algorithms and introducing methods to measure their effectiveness while emphasizing clarity and minimizing the use of mathematics. He then explores three foundational areas: 1) graph theory, 2) searching and 3) sorting. Building on these fundamentals, the book examines larger-scale applications (e.g. Google’s Page Rank Algorithm) and neural networks that underpin deep learning. Significant attention is given to demonstrating how these complex systems can be distilled into simple pen-and-paper steps, reinforcing that even sophisticated algorithms stem from basic logic. |
