From the publisher

Your secret weapon to understanding--and using!--one of the most powerful influences in the world today

From your Facebook News Feed to your most recent insurance premiums--even making toast!--algorithms play a role in virtually everything that happens in modern society and in your personal life. And while they can seem complicated from a distance, the reality is that, with a little help, anyone can understand--and even use--these powerful problem-solving tools!

In Algorithms For Dummies, you'll discover the basics of algorithms, including what they are, how they work, where you can find them (spoiler alert: everywhere!), who invented the most important ones in use today (a Greek philosopher is involved), and how to create them yourself.

You'll also find:

  • Dozens of graphs and charts that help you understand the inner workings of algorithms
  • Links to an online repository called GitHub for constant access to updated code
  • Step-by-step instructions on how to use Google Colaboratory, a zero-setup coding environment that runs right from your browser

Whether you're a curious internet user wondering how Google seems to always know the right answer to your question or a beginning computer science student looking for a head start on your next class, Algorithms For Dummies is the can't-miss resource you've been waiting for.

From the rear cover

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(R) 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(R) 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
