Algorithmics (HESS) Subject Guide
Tackling the future’s biggest problems such as curing cancer, expanding internet communications, and developing artificial intelligence involves understanding and learning computational algorithms. Writing algorithms for computers to solve Sudoku puzzles, for example, has a deep connection to having computers assist with medical breakthroughs, as well as many other areas. Understanding and applying these algorithms means being at the forefront of innovation and discovery in science, technology and economics. Algorithmics provides students with the opportunity to analyse and develop computational solutions to solve real-world problems in the domain of science, maths, business and technology. Students learn and apply core algorithms that power the technologies of the modern age, including self-driving cars, facial recognition, financial analysis, artificial intelligence and internet search engines. These skills prepare students in further studies within the science, mathematics and computing domains.
