Why Study Algorithms?

Problem Solving: Algorithms provide a systematic framework for tackling computational problems.

Efficiency: Different algorithms can solve the same problem with varying levels of efficiency in terms of time and resources (memory). Understanding algorithms allows us to choose or design the most efficient solution.

Foundation of Computer Science: Algorithms are a fundamental building block upon which much of computer science is built, influencing data structures, software design, and artificial intelligence.

Computational Thinking: Studying algorithms hones your ability to break down complex problems into smaller, manageable steps, a crucial skill in many domains.

Innovation: Many technological advancements are driven by the development of novel and more efficient algorithms.
