This is a popular‑style anthology of 41 articles on algorithmic ideas, written in colloquial and non‐technical language. It aims to make core concepts in algorithms accessible to high‑school students, beginners, or general readers — explaining classic computational problems (like mazes, treasure‑map puzzles, path planning, graph problems, sorting, etc.) and their algorithmic solutions intuitively. The book mixes logic, combinatorial thinking and creativity rather than heavy formalism, offering a gentle yet insightful introduction to algorithmic thinking and the power of algorithms in everyday and scientific problems.
