Entrepreneurship Guest Lecture Series February 11th 2010 featuring Daniel Hume and Alastair Moore co-founders of Satalia a recently formed algorithm company. Daniel and Alastair talk about their experiences in becoming entrepreneurs and trying to make their business a success.
In this session we look at how to think systematically about a problem and create a solution. We look at the definition and characteristics of an algorithm, and see how through modularisation and decomposition we can then choose a set of methods to create. We also compare this somewhat procedural approach, with the way that design works in Object Oriented Systems,
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.
