My notes on Preface
Brief Summary
- The idea of algorithms are pervasive, its applications can be found in just about every discipline.
- the subject of algorithms is a powerful lens through which to view the field of computer science in general.
- algorithmic enterprise consists of two fundamental components: the task of getting to the mathematically clean core of a problem, and then the task of identifying the appropriate algorithm design techniques, based on the structure of the problem.
- the more familiar one is with the different possible techniques, the closer one is to the clean mathematic core of the problem.
