Algorithms:
- Separate us from the ``beasts.''
- Are important practically.
- Give us a chance to ``think'' (puzzles, fun!).
Take Home Lessons:
- Algorithms matter,
- Some classic algorithms and their analyses,
- How to analyze algorithms
- How to invent new algorithms
- Empirical evaluation of algorithms.
