Algorithms

Data
Yesterday I finished week three of the computers course. This week focused on algorithms: one "session" on comparing different searching algorithms with a focus on computation time and the other compared different sorts of algorithms in sorting.
Apart from the intense fun in this kind of thing, I realized that this blog can marry quite a few loves:
1. Math. OK, statistics. I like playing with math, quite a lot even. And though statistics really isn't math, playing with numbers, understanding concepts and explaining them- that's really quite a bit of fun. Algorithms falls into this category.
2. Understanding how things work: If someone were to ask my true life's dream, the unattainable, unrealistic dream I would say "I want to understand how the brain works." That is not possible. Not from a maximum of an hour a night, cramming time in when I can to learn and progress. But so much has been written on exercise, and a moving body is interesting. Why do we need to move? Since so much has been written, I would love to put something together over here, collect articles, and patch myself through towards an understanding. And explain the statistics each article used.
3. I just really, really love to learn. Like a new love, like an old love. I get excited reading good books, my heart pounds upon listening to good lectures. And how I love that brief moment of understanding how 2 puzzle pieces in the infinite puzzle of physics, Biology, etc click together. It's a thrill I can't explain. Way better than swimming, skydiving and cheesecake.
