Algorithms: The Invisible Mathematics of Everyday Life
How does your phone know you’re holding it sideways and should rotate the screen?
How do Google Maps tell you which way to go home and when you’ll arrive?
And how are schedules planned in a hospital when there are thousands of waiting patients, hundreds of rules and restrictions, and no perfect solution?
In the course, we will focus on the mathematics of algorithms that power our daily lives in the background. We will analyze specific examples from recommendation systems, optimization, networks, or data compression. But mainly, we will brainstorm our own solutions, compare them, and ask why some work better than others.
We will show how simple ideas become systems that handle the enormous complexity of the real world.
This course is for everyone who likes puzzles and pattern seeking. Neither programming nor any advanced mathematics is expected.
