Algorithms to Live By offers us a peculiar but effective way of seeing the world.

    "We say 'brain fart' when we should really say 'cache miss'." – Brian Christian.

    Algorithms to live by possesses the two qualities that are key for a good book; an amusing factor and meaning. It truly is an entertaining read because of Brian Christian's funny ways of phrasing his analogies and how practical his teachings are. The book manages to keep you entertained while he walks you through a more efficient method of thinking. Brian Christian stresses that thinking in algorithms is using your brain in the best possible way.

    P.S. Algorithms to Live By is a brilliant book that will completely change the way you solve problems. With a simpler and more elegant train of thought, your odds of obtaining the best result possible when problem solving is significantly higher.

      This is totally the best one.The book gives much useful and important information.I highly recommend this book for every man.
    • 5/5
      I have some familiarity with computer science and thought this book would be an easy bland review of some of the basics. In other words, I wasn't expecting much. I was very pleasantly surprised! The basics are covered well but recent findings in the field of computer science are also included. I actually learned a few things I didn't know. And explaining the concepts in terms of everyday experience (not just abstractions) makes the book very accessible to those with no background in CS.
    • 5/5
      I enjoyed reading about different algorithms that we use in real life.
    • 4/5
      This book describes Algorithms in a different manner compare to Algorithms which was taught in our school.
    • 5/5
      It's a very good book and very important.I recommend it for everyone
    • 5/5
      Amazing content. Great for analytical thinking. The algorithms are on point.
    • 3/5
      The concepts in the book could have meaning if it wasn’t too scientific.
    • 5/5
      This book is much easier to read. New mathematical techniques and great for analytical thinking.
    • 5/5
      The book is a very good introduction to several mathematical concepts that many people have heard of, but don't know much about. Brian Christian also does something very clever: he makes these concepts eminently relatable.
    • 5/5
      Great concept, interesting thinking pattern by the original author and good summary
    • 5/5
      Amazing. Great for analytical thinking. Think different to do different. Loved the idea of algorithms
