Lesson Overview

An algorithm is a step by step process designed to achieve some outcome, and computers are the fastest machines ever conceived for carrying out step by step processes!

That means that the study of algorithms is a core aim of computer science, but their use transcends any one discipline.

Algorithms are designed by biologists to find patterns in genetic sequences, by clothing designers to turn models into sewing patterns, and by rocket scientists to guide self-landing rockets safely to the ground, to name a few examples.

In this lesson, we'll start with some fundamentals.

You'll work with:

  1. the informal algorithms that people use to communicate instructions to other people.

  2. the informal language that computer scientists use to work with algorithms, “pseudocode”.

This course goes beyond teaching your practical technical skills, but will immerse you in an entirely new way of thinking that adapts to the rapidly changing AI landscape. You’ll be introduced to new concepts, tools, and practical methodologies that will reframe your perception of the world in a way that will fundamentally shifts your mindset and expands your capabilities as a creator and entrepreneur. This unit will introduce you to this new paradigm shift and prepare you for how to best take advantage of the lessons and exercises.
