Introduction to Algorithms 计算机算法导论 2007~2008年第一学期 1、The Role of Algorithms in Computing Question What are algorithms? Why is the study of algorithms worthwhile? What is the role of algorithms relative to other technologies used in computers? 1.1、Algorithms An algorithm is any well-defined computational procedure that takes some value, or set of values, as input and produces some value, or set of values, as output. An algorithm is thus a sequence of computational steps that transform the input into output. An algorithm as a tool for solving a well-specified computational problem. 1.1、Algori
