Crash Course Computer Science #13: Intro to Algorithms

This video offers an introduction to algorithms. Algorithms are the sets of steps necessary to complete computation - they are at the heart of what our devices actually do. Since the development of math itself, algorithms have been needed to help us complete tasks more efficiently, but today we're going to take a look a couple modern computing problems like types of sorting and graph search, and show how we've made them more efficient so you can more easily find cheap airfare or map directions to Winterfell, or like a restaurant or something.
