Entertaining algorithms. What the stories of famous heroes teach us

Have you always believed that an algorithm is something from the world of untidy hackers, illuminated by screens in semi-dark rooms clogged with computers? What is something "not from this world", for an ordinary person, which is beyond understanding?
You are unforgivably mistaken. This is probably one of the greatest errors of our time - especially incomprehensible in the light of the fact that humanity has long and thoroughly familiar with algorithms. After reading this book, you will see this.
The book uses an unusual approach to the presentation of algorithms - using literary works and films. Have you ever thought that Genzel and Gretel, returning home on a chain of pebbles, use a simple algorithm with linear work time? That Sherlock Holmes, investigating the next business, is dealing with data structures - a list of suspects, a pedigree tree, a burst with the priorities of the heirs of the victim? What Indiana Jones has repeatedly had to deal with sorting and search? That the events in the film Groundhog Day are essentially a cycle, and in the future - recursion to the future?
Before you is a book on the basics of computer science and algorims - but a book in which such literary works and films are used to illustrate certain concepts, which makes the already fascinating theme of computer science, algorithms and calculations even more interesting And fascinating
