  2. The Algorithm “Algorithm: n. A finite set of unambiguous instructions performed in a prescribed sequence to achieve a goal” - The American Heritage Science Dictionary

  3. The Algorithm Al-Khwarizmi was a Persian mathematician who wrote a book on calculating with Hindu numerals in the 9th century A.D. When translated to Latin, a pluralized form of his name (algorismus) became synonymous with a system of calculation.

  4. Pizza Dough Recipe (Algorithm)‏ 1. Gather Ingredients 2. Combine sugar (1tbs), salt (1tbs), olive oil (1tbs), flour (1c) in mixing bowl 3. Turn on mixer 4. Add 1/4 cup of flour 5. If dough comes off the sides go to step 6, otherwise go back to step 4 6. Knead 15 minutes 7. Let rest for at least 45 minutes in warm area • 1 dough ball

  5. N-Pizza Dough Algorithm • Gather Ingredients • Combine sugar (N tbs), salt (N tbs), olive oil (N tbs), flour (N c) in mixing bowl • Turn on mixer • Add N/4 cup of flour • If dough comes off the sides go to step 6, otherwise go back to step 4 • Knead 15 minutes • Let rest for at least 45 minutes in warm area • N dough balls

  6. N-Pizza Dough Algorithm • Gather Ingredients • Combine sugar (N tbs), salt (N tbs), olive oil (N tbs), flour (N c) in mixing bowl • Turn on mixer • Add N/4 cup of flour • If dough comes off the sides go to step 6, otherwise go back to step 4 • Knead 15 minutes • Let rest for at least 45 minutes in warm area Sequence of Statements • N dough balls

  7. N-Pizza Dough Algorithm • Gather Ingredients • Combine sugar (N tbs), salt (N tbs), olive oil (N tbs), flour (N c) in mixing bowl • Turn on mixer • Add N/4 cup of flour • If dough comes off the sides go to step 6, otherwise go back to step 4 • Knead 15 minutes • Let rest for at least 45 minutes in warm area Variable • N dough balls

  8. N-Pizza Dough - Algorithm • Gather Ingredients • Combine sugar (N tbs), salt (N tbs), olive oil (N tbs), flour (N c) in mixing bowl • Turn on mixer • Add N/4 cup of flour • If dough comes off the sides go to step 6, otherwise go back to step 4 • Knead 15 minutes • Let rest for at least 45 minutes in warm area Conditional

  9. N-Pizza Dough - Algorithm • Gather Ingredients • Combine sugar (N tbs), salt (N tbs), olive oil (N tbs), flour (N c) in mixing bowl • Turn on mixer • Add N/4 cup of flour • If dough comes off the sides go to step 6, otherwise go back to step 4 • Knead 15 minutes • Let rest for at least 45 minutes in warm area Subroutines Mini-algorithms • N dough balls

  10. Programs - Algorithms at Work • Programs are the way we communicate with a computer • Specify the algorithm • This class uses the Python programming language • Rather than pizza dough, we will use a robot as our favorite example
