Introduc) On Why Study Algorithms?: Design and Analysis of Algorithms I

Studying algorithms is important for other fields of computer science and plays a key role in technological innovation. Performance gains from improved algorithms have often exceeded gains from increased processor speed. Studying algorithms also provides novel perspectives on non-computer science domains like quantum mechanics and economics, while being an intellectually challenging and enjoyable field.
