Algorithms For Dummies

 Struggling with Big Data

Humans also developed a method, the scientific method, that is at the foundation 

of our modern world based on scientific discovery. Suddenly people have found 

(with a certain surprise) that they can solve problems earlier and more success-

fully by learning the solution from large amounts of data rather than spending 

long years developing and elaborating theories using well-designed tests and 

experiments.

Simply  having  data  won’t  find  solutions  to  the  many  problems  still  afflicting 

 civilization. However, having enough data, which actually equates to incredible 

amounts of it, and the right algorithm enables people to connect the dots between 

thousands and thousands of hints. Big data and algorithms enable access to 

 wondrous new scientific (but also practical and business) discoveries.
