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.
