Algorithmic Complexity and Computability

High-level introduction for web science students, rather than for computer science students.

Sequences and Modules

This is a presentation introducing students to algorithmic concepts such as sequencing, pseudocode and modularity. It includes a class exercise to define the algorithm to make a cup of tea.

Materials for Info1008

These are the materials for a course run at the University of Southampton to teach Algorithmic thinking to Information Technology in Organisation students. The course takes a lightweight approach, and is designed to be used alongside simple programming labs (for example, using Alice).

Building Software Solutions

This presentation explains how we move from a problem definition to an algorithmic solution using simple tools like noun verb analysis. It also looks at how we might judge the quality of a solution through coupling, cohesion and generalisation.
