Computers can be used to help solve problems. However, before a problem can be tackled, it must first be understood. Computational thinking helps us to solve problems. Designing, creating and refining ...

Algorithms, simple functions that hover between mathematical problems and computer programs, are everywhere. Whether dealing with lost packets when using Wi-Fi, or getting your credit-card details ...

Understand the principles of efficient algorithms for dealing with large scale data sets and be able to select appropriate algorithms for specific problems. Understand and be able to apply the main ...

This section examines how to take a problem, decompose it and design an algorithm to solve it. The following example has been taken from an AQA past paper. It reflects the type of question that may ...

If you are planning a trip through several cities and want to find the shortest route, you resort to algorithms, a well-defined sequence of deterministic operations. This article accompanies the ...
