Algorithmic Toolbox week1 Welcome

• Teacher 1: Every branch of science uses algorithms(Writing software, analyzing a genome, producing automatic movie recommendations, and so on)

• T2: Efficient algorithms are necessary in practical systems.(Inefficient algorithms will cost too much time and memory)

• T3: Advanced algorithms make very good performance(such as high prediction accuracy), but how to make algorithms quickly is also crucial in data science.

• T4: Algorithm are the key for solving important biomedical problems.And we'll learn algorithms to solve practical problems,such as assembling the genome from millions of tiny fragments, the largest jigsaw puzzle ever assembled by humans.

• T5: Algorithms are everywhere.So it's important to design and implement algorithms.In this specialzation, we will learn nearly 100 algorithms.And we'll learn how to implement, test, debug problems in seconds.

• Conclude: In this specialization you'll be able to implement all of these algorithms, and master the skill of answering both algorithmic and programming questions at your next interview.
