DIVE INTO ALGORITHMS - BRADFORD TUCKFIELD KARTO...

Algorithms for the Adventurous explores the problem-solving superpowers that guide computers 
and how they can help you in daily life.  What do catching a fly ball  filing your taxes  and
baking a cake have in common? They're all algorithms - sets of instructions - in action.
Algorithms are everywhere  master them  and you'll not only be better at using computers 
you'll be better at life.  Algorithms for the Adventurous unravels the complexities that belie
the algorithmic approach to solving problems. It's a fun  lively introduction to the subject
that will take you around the globe and back through time. Along the way  you'll become
familiar with algorithmic procedures like searching  sorting  and optimization  and develop
your ability to implement popular methods used in machine learning and artificial intelligence
(AI). You'll also learn:   • Algorithms for debugging code  maximizing revenue  scheduling
tasks  and creating decision trees  • How to measure the efficiency and speed of algorithms  •
The subconscious algorithms governing human behavior  and what they teach us about designing
computer algorithms  • How to generate Voronoi diagrams  useful in a variety of geometric
applications  • How to use algorithms to create a simple chatbot or play a game  The book is
packed with illustrative examples of functioning code written in the latest version of Python 
with each snippet thoroughly explained and easily adaptable to a variety of uses. More
importantly  you'll discover that algorithms help us organize the world around us. Just as
they're instructive to computers  they're instructive in optimizing our daily lives - but only
if you're adventurous enough to use them.
