blurb:
A close look at the classic recipes and the ideas behind
them in computer science. Topics may include ideas from
searching, sorting, data structures, randomness, compression,
parsing, cryptography and so on. This is an intermediate level
foundation course, strongly recommended for folks considering
further work in computer science. The primary programming
language will python, though we will do some C as well.
