M224: Algorithms in Splash Spring 14 (Apr. 26, 2014)

Have you wondered how a computer can solve a problem? What it means for an algorithm to be faster than another one? Then this class is for you! We will be looking at some algorithms, and analyzing how long they take to run, and giving a taste of what they can do.
