Algorithms and Computational Thinking · Algorithms & Programming
Algorithm Design and Efficiency
Exploring the construction of algorithms and evaluating their performance using Big O notation.
Key Questions
- 1Why does the choice of algorithm matter more than the speed of the hardware as data sets grow?
- 2How can we mathematically prove that one algorithm is better than another?
- 3What are the trade-offs between code readability and extreme performance optimization?
