A lot of Car Talk Puzzlers are classic examples of what computer scientists think about when learning to build algorithms. Above, Click and Clack (Ray and Tom Magliozzi) of Car Talk. Lane Turner ...

What is an algorithm? Algorithms are one of the four cornerstones of Computer Science. An algorithm is a plan, a set of step-by-step instructions to solve a problem.

So, an algorithm is the process a computer uses to transform input data into output data. A simple concept, and yet every piece of technology that you touch involves many algorithms.

What do encrypted messages, recognizing speech commands and running simulations to predict the weather have in common? They all rely on matrix multiplication for accurate calculations. DeepMind, an ...
