A theory posits that the all of our thoughts are a function of a basic algorithm, N=2^i–1. This development may be huge for AI, since artificial neural networks operate much like the brain ...

Known today as Karatsuba’s Algorithm, this breakthrough challenged the long-held belief that multiplying two n-digit numbers ...

Our brains have a basic algorithm that enables us to not just recognize a traditional Thanksgiving meal, but the intelligence to ponder the broader implications of a bountiful harvest as well as good ...

Solutions to most exercises appear in the Appendix. Basic Concepts in Algorithms retails for US$58 / £50 (paperback) and US$118 / £105 (hardcover) and is also available in electronic formats.

At the most basic level, algorithms are a bunch of if-then statements taking place in a computer very quickly to give you an outcome: If you do A then you get B. If you do C instead, then you get D.
