Before computer science, there were equations, formulas and theorems. Computer science allowed sequences of operations, processes, and procedures to be developed to process complex problems.

Learn the steps to analyze algorithm scalability, an important aspect of computer science for applications that deal with large or dynamic data sets.

A teenage programmer explores the concept of writing algorithms by creating step-by-step instructions to teach her computer a dance routine. Suitable for teaching at KS3, KS4 and National 4 and 5.

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.

Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs ...

In an article on Domingos’ Master Algorithm, Slate ’s David Auerbach notes that “even within computer science, machine learning is notably opaque.” ...

Computer science is magic: what learning a card trick can teach you about search algorithms A self-working card trick is based on the same principles as a computer algorithm.

Artificial intelligence learned how to generate text and art better than ever before, while computer scientists developed algorithms that solved long-standing problems.

Learn what an algorithm is and how they can be represented in Bitesize KS3 Computer Science.
