What are algorithms, and why should you care? Algorithms are, in fact, seen on a daily basis, and they are a part of our daily lives whether they are recognised or not. This course will aim to give an overview of the most common types of algorithms that are likely to come up when programming. This course will give students an extensive breadth of knowledge on the hardest part of the curriculum in computer science. The structure of this course will enable students to feel able to tackle algorithmic problems, solving them with creativity and confidence. Through examples and purposeful practice, students will gain confidence when dealing with algorithms and become capable of writing their own.
