We'll discuss different kinds of algorithms. First, we'll try to understand basic algorithms. We'll also discuss simple puzzles and brain teasers. If you are not from mathematical background, you'll find it simple and if you are from computer science, you'll find it interesting. You can also post any algorithms you want to discuss in particular. Learning Practical Applications: We'll try to understand algorithms practical applications. The challenge is not to write complex algorithms but to …

Occupy Data is a subgroup of Occupy Research, with the aim of analyzing and visualizing datasets related to the Occupy movement. We mainly organize hackathons, where teams of people worked on separate projects, with the goal of using free and open source tools to generate visualizations and other resources pertinent to the Occupy movement and the issues it has raised. Read more about previous projects, get inspired about what you might like to work on occupydatanyc.org or occupyresearch.net.
