Ă propos de ce livre
Discover how algorithms shape and impact our digital world
All data, big or small, starts with algorithms. Algorithms are mathematical equations that determine what we seeâbased on our likes, dislikes, queries, views, interests, relationships, and moreâonline. They are, in a sense, the electronic gatekeepers to our digital, as well as our physical, world. This book demystifies the subject of algorithms so you can understand how important they are business and scientific decision making.
Algorithms for Dummies is a clear and concise primer for everyday people who are interested in algorithms and how they impact our digital lives. Based on the fact that we already live in a world where algorithms are behind most of the technology we use, this book offers eye-opening information on the pervasiveness and importance of this mathematical scienceâhow it plays out in our everyday digestion of news and entertainment, as well as in its influence on our social interactions and consumerism. Readers even learn how to program an algorithm using Python!
- Become well-versed in the major areas comprising algorithms
- Examine the incredible history behind algorithms
- Get familiar with real-world applications of problem-solving procedures
- Experience hands-on development of an algorithm from start to finish with Python
