Reviews
"This book is based entirely on learning math, but it does a really good job of changing how it's learned. Instead of trying to give you a dry math lecture, this book will tell a story with each of its chapters. This story based education ties real world problems and solutions with the algorithms that this book is trying to teach." --Ian Mizer, Cloud Support Engineer "An excellent self-discovery approach to learning algorithms." --Ira Laefsky, Vine Voice "A clear and concise introduction to algorithmic thinking. This is especially important in today's world where resolving processes using computers is far more important than ever before. Python is not the main focus of the book, more like the algorithmic language using which a variety of topics are explored. Top marks for content and style." --Brian G. McEnery, Amazon Reviewer "[This] book has been great about teaching you what you need to know to do each section! I'd recommend giving it a shot!" --@ViolanteCode

Synopsis
Algorithms for the Adventurous is a thorough introduction to algorithms. Readers learn about many standard computer science algorithms including ones for searching, sorting, and optimisation as well as newer ones used in machine learning and artificial intelligence. Readers also learn how to understand ''real life'' algorithms, and need little more than high school math to understand an algorithm and the Python code needed to implement the algorithm., Dive Into Algorithms is a broad introduction to algorithms using the Python Programming Language. Dive Into Algorithms is a wide-ranging, Pythonic tour of many of the world's most interesting algorithms. With little more than a bit of computer programming experience and basic high-school math, you'll explore standard computer science algorithms for searching, sorting, and optimization; human-based algorithms that help us determine how to catch a baseball or eat the right amount at a buffet; and advanced algorithms like ones used in machine learning and artificial intelligence. You'll even explore how ancient Egyptians and Russian peasants used algorithms to multiply numbers, how the ancient Greeks used them to find greatest common divisors, and how Japanese scholars in the age of samurai designed algorithms capable of generating magic squares. You'll explore algorithms that are useful in pure mathematics and learn how mathematical ideas can improve algorithms. You'll learn about an algorithm for generating continued fractions, one for quick calculations of square roots, and another for generating seemingly random sets of numbers. You'll also learn how to: - Use algorithms to debug code, maximize revenue, schedule tasks, and create decision trees - Measure the efficiency and speed of algorithms - Generate Voronoi diagrams for use in various geometric applications - Use algorithms to build a simple chatbot, win at board games, or solve sudoku puzzles - Write code for gradient ascent and descent algorithms that can find the maxima and minima of functions - Use simulated annealing to perform global optimization - Build a decision tree to predict happiness based on a person's characteristics Once you've finished this book you'll understand how to code and implement important algorithms as well as how to measure and optimize their performance, all while learning the nitty-gritty details of today's most powerful algorithms.

    Seller responded quickly to all questions, but it took a week to ship and another 10 days for delivery. The item matches the description, so if shipping time is not critical, this seller can be recommended.

    The book was competitively priced, ordering was easy, the book was well packaged and arrived safely, and its condition was exactly as specified.The delivery time from ordering to mailbox was a little long (14 days), but overall it was a good experience and I would use this seller again.

    The condition and value of the book are 100% wonderful. My only disappointment was with the shipping process , the item was only shipped after I conveyed my displeasure that the book did not leave their facility for a week. They were unapologetic, by the time I told them to cancel the order, they informed me that it was on it's way, but shipping information did not support it.
