Introduction to Algorithms: A Taster for Computer Science at the University of Reading
Channel: Julian Kunkel
Date: 30/04/2020

This talk introduces the topic of algorithms for computer scientists and the wider public.
Due to the confusion about the term "algorithms" in the media and pop-art, it is important to understand that algorithms are everywhere and indeed based on very simple concepts.
By learning and understanding just three basic constructs, you are able to construct and execute arbitrary algorithms!

The purpose of this presentation is to give you an impression of how we are teaching at the university.
It covers the first lecture in the programming module that I teach in part 1.
While the lecture aims for students in computer science, the topic is typically well understood also by parents.
Normally, the presentation is given during the visit days. 

Skip the first 2 minutes if you want to listen to the content.
