Description of Algorithmic Problem Solving
The algorithmic approach to solving problems in computer technology is an essential tool. With this unique book, algorithm guru Roland Backhouse shares his four decades of experience to teach the fundamental principles of using algorithms to solve problems.
Using fun and well-known puzzles to gradually introduce different aspects of algorithms in mathematics and computing. Backhouse presents you with a readable, entertaining, and energetic book that will motivate and challenge you to open your mind to the algorithmic nature of problem solving.
An algorithm is a well-defined procedure, consisting of a number of instructions that are executed in turn. In the past, algorithms were almost always executed by human beings, which may explain the earlier lack of emphasis on algorithms.
