Algorithms

The book fulfills a brief idea of algorithms that are widely used today in several fields. It begins from simple concepts and leads you to more complex topics such as the foundations of Nerual Networks. The book invites you to broaden the presented knowledge by yourself.

One of the many quality MIT Press series, worth picking up.

Algorithms is part of MIT's Essential Knowledge Series, a collection of concise books designed for lay readers on topics ranging from Animal Rights to Phenology. In this installment, author Panos Louridas—Associate Professor in the Department of Management Science and Technology at the Athens University of Economics and Business—guides readers through the core computer science algorithms that power systems like Google Search, RSA encryption, and sorting mechanisms.Louridas highlights key contributions from historical figures such as Euclid, Euler, Hierholzer, and Dijkstra, offering accessible explanations that sidestep heavy mathematics in favor of clear, visual illustrations. Concepts like nodes, quicksort, and even neural networks are made understandable, making the book an inviting primer for those curious about AI and deep learning.While some reviewers criticize the book for being too short or not technical enough, that was never its purpose. Rather, the aim is to give any educated reader a thoughtful introduction to the foundational logic behind tools like ChatGPT, Google Genesis, and DeepSeek.In a world increasingly shaped by algorithms, Louridas offers not a deep dive, but a sturdy first step into understanding the invisible forces driving our digital age.

This is a basic explanation of the importance of Algorithms in cyberspace like Facebook. There are Bad Algorithms and Good Algorithms. In the case of Facebook, Who are the shareholders paying the Algorithms-expert Engineers to Prompt someone to any Feature Adverts, Notifications, News, or Events?
