Sep 28, 2019 at 19:35 comment added alk01771 I was bored because it seemed far for real world applications. My students are 18 and are about to start learning computer science. They have never learned algorithms. So I'm trying to find a fun way to teach them that topic.
Sep 28, 2019 at 19:16 comment added Buffy Why were you bored? Four days seems not much for a deep topic. Say something about the students and what they know. How much of algorithms? Examples only? Analysis? Taxonomy? Fun for whom?
