Section 1

Fundamentals and Core Algorithms

This section introduces the core aspects of algorithms. We will explore what an algorithm is and how to design one. We will also learn about the data structures used in algorithms. This section also introduces sorting and searching algorithms along with algorithms to solve graphical problems. The chapters included in this section are:

• Chapter 1, Overview of Algorithms
• Chapter 2, Data Structures Used in Algorithms
• Chapter 3, Sorting and Searching Algorithms
• Chapter 4, Designing Algorithms
• Chapter 5, Graph Algorithms
