An algorithm brought me here.
Hahha me too
Haha :)
😂 SAME 🤦♀️
To Earth!?
You're a data point.
I'm a welder.... I got very tired of welding 'daylight' when it came to the welding of nodes or intersections of pipes of different sizes and at different angles. No matter how carefully each piece was cut by the fabricator, there would always be gaps and sometimes big gaps..... I started writing algorithms which produced the template patterns needed and these templates were accurate to less than .040". I spent years writing algorithms which gave answers to every conceivable piping intersection or connection or transition or offset or whatever was humanly possible in this area. All on a pocket computer which proved its magic on any worksite anywhere. And never again did I ever have to weld 'daylight'.
😲😲😲
Sorry bro, you wrote a chain of instructions for your machine. Its a basic computer program. Make your templates in autocad, that program is full of mathematical and geometrical algorithms.
3:56 Data goes in, goes through instructions, result comes out
4:16 What is the difference between an algorithm and code?
7:11 Algorithm are actually remarkably simple
Thx
Please love GOD and spread his word :D
Why do you do this?
Let's Thanks To Greatest Ever Mathematician Mohammad Al Musa Of Iraq Who Introduced Algorithm When Western, European Countries were figuring out how to paint Cave's & what type of leave dresses to wear...

Jon, YOU are the FIRST human(almost) that truly speaks my language! I am a Myers Briggs INFJ and that may be the reason. May you be blessed in all of your endeavors. Sincere thanks, John, Dallas, Tx 74 y/o
What an insightful video! Thank you so much for your sharing. You have done a lot of research and interviews with algorithm experts. What I learn from your video is that algorithms are a set of instructions. They help us to find related information in the search engines quickly and effectively. People should not be frightened of algorithms because they are beneficial to us. More importantly, we should learn how to utilize them in the proper manner.
I love how easy the video is to follow . So imformational yet simple to understand
Fascinating, it's very informative.
I love how you guys make it so easy to understand
I'm so impressed how relentless desire you have in your pursuant in getting multiple answers. Big ups bro
This channel is incredible
Yes it does
BBC Ideas...Thank you, for a very educational Tutorial/Education! Greetings, from Northern Kentucky, USA
OH MY GOD man thanks so much for this video, ive searched forever trying to figure out and understand how the hell algorithms and data structures are linked to programming!!
"They're everywhere! Apparently" Me whenever people ask about my friends
I love this video. It was very clear, easy to understand.
This video's just another level
Thank you
Guy looks like Harry Potter.
cuz he is
Scientifically accurate harry potter. There's no magic here ,just my computer.
His hair looks like ramen too.
Delicious, delicious hair.
I love these series♡
This video is so insightful and necessary! It has made the subject totally clear with such an understandable detailed explanation!! Btw, I absolutely love your hair! It is gorgeous! Please never cut it☺️
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it and we always love getting feedback 😊
If he never cut it, it def wouldn't look the same as now.
Absolutely fantastic explanation!! Thank you!
This is absolutely ridiculous explanation. On a level for a 3 year old.
Best explanation I've come across.
I can’t thank you enough you’re actually the best absolutely amazing channel
I need this for my Research Paper and it is very useful
that was interesting. Thanks for sharing :) learnt something new
Thanks To The Greatest Ever Mathematician Mohammad Musa Of Iraq Who Introduced Algorithm....
Kharazmi, the father of Algorithms was not born in Iraq, an ozbak from Persia, There wasn’t any Iraq until 1900ac.
he copied from Indian mathematics books.
Good stuff!
Thank you
Hello dear professor
This lesson is really interesting and crucial ,i do appreciate your job,all the best. Take care and have a good time.
Amazing video! I watched several and never got it but this is the nearest at making sense to me! 👍🏽
Thank you so very much 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Word Algorithm is driven from its creator's name "Al-Khwarzmi" a Persian Muslim scientist who invented it.
This is very helpful!
Brilliant, thank you helps me prepare my lesson
this was awesome!
in ancient math books, problems do not state like in today's book. they usually came in form of general solutions for certain types of problems. I.e. Do these n steps and you get this result. it is named after
Muhammad al-Khwarizmi a Persian polymath
Great video!
Professor at Oxford reminds me of Chris Parnell from SNL
thank you for making this video it this will help me in my test
Well done. The visual example of the drones, the woman's absolute confidence in human futility....that's life.
This was an awesome video! It broke it down barney style!
Well said; well done. Thk. U.
this was awesome! ive exam soon and well i never learnt something in such a fun way!
Algorithms can also be mathematical with total absence of computers. The term "TH-cam algorithm" or "TikTok algorithm" or "whatever algorithm" for that matter is inaccurate but has been accepted to explain "operationalized AI models" mostly in the form of "recommendation systems" aka "recommender systems". Algorithms simply are the building blocks of those "models" or "AI models". For the lay, the term "algorithm" has been deemed to be perhaps the most understandable. Algorithms can also refer to completed programming codes or scripts which may or may not use "historical data".
Upcoming Entrepreneurs need to watch this. It’s not always about your product.
Very useful, 😊
Real interesting and insightful video, I am looking for software that will be able to select different groups of people from social media and group them by certain preferences and regions. please can you advise.
try the CIA or any american social media company...they've already been doing it for years! 🙊🇿🇦
Great video, very educational. Thank you for sharing! By the way, I think you kind of resemble Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) :-)
Can anyone tell me when it is mentioned the invetor of algorithm
The word "algorithm" comes from 8th century *Muslim mathematician, Al Khwarizmi.* he is the inventor of algorithm.
Wrong. The word Algorithm was first coined in the late 1990s to describe the fantastic dancing of Bill Clinton's Vice President.
@@ptolemyauletesxii8642 use tht algorithm and search a little
@@syedashfaq7245 You've missed something.
@@ptolemyauletesxii8642 you are tot lazy to search for it lmao
Wat is the fullform of this BBC in your channel ??
Great video
Are you also aka Kirk Cameron ? The guy from the show “Growing Pain “?
Wow! Jon Stroud just Love ❤️
This video deserves a million likes
Simple coinage...
Algorithm= al+go+rithm
= The+ go+: rhythm
= The rhythm of going
= Steps to get the desired result
😎
Im trying my best to understand this algorithm thing
The professor explained it in a very clear way

Damn Yeah!
An algorithm is an Artifical intelligent when we can process our idea and mind into a progammable logic control that can be understand by a computer😊
Thank you
Hey Snow. Changed your hair? When are you gonna drop Informer 2?
I don't know before that Arya Stark is actually the algorithm guru
Thank lots for sharing 👍 💚 💙 ♥️ they are also use in game 🎮 too 😀
This is an impressive write-up. A book with a kindred spirit is suggested if you're engrossed in this topic. "Game Theory and the Pursuit of Algorithmic Fairness" by Jack Frostwell
Searches on TH-cam: what is an algorithm?
TH-cam: Guy searches on google what is an algorithm?
Awesome!
What a great way to start an informative video about algorithms "to be honest I have no idea what they are" at least you didn't waste my time watching the whole video
He started to ask people who KNOW.
If am poor in mathematics is it a problem for me to be in it sector
This is significant. If this speaks to you, a corresponding book is worth your consideration. "Game Theory and the Pursuit of Algorithmic Fairness" by Jack Frostwell
very well explanationssssssssssssss
Tenet brought me here, thanks for this video
HOW DO WE USE THIS ON OUR YOU TUBE CHANNEL
Verry good
I just want to say 1 thing u did not cover difference between code n algorithm part nicely.
I don't know whether this is the right place to ask this upcoming question or not. In 2min 32 seconds of the video, the host says " try and get a better understanding of how all of this works?". would you explain to me why he used works instead of work?
2:00 hearing an American accent on this British video took me by surprise.
Good to know that the algorithm that takes my job will do it much better than I.
Algorithms keep me up at night.
Algorithms give me nightmares..
They're everywhere!! 😱
Fun Fact: Algorithms were actually invented by a Muslim scholar from Persia. The word Algorithm is a latinised version of his actual name: Al Khawarizmi
Wow
SUPER 😍😍😍
It´s hard to understand what is an algorithm if you don´t show graphicaly how they work or are used to compose an instruction, for example. The video lacks that.
Faxs and there never going to fully explain it to us Bc we would take advantage of It
WAIT A MINUTE: did they just gloss over that??: “algorithms can make their own instructions now.” - HELLO?!?! What exactly does that mean?
ok let's be frank, we are all here not because of the youtube recommendation algorithm.
Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi
Persian mathematician,Changed Humanity Once and For All, He Deserves Our Respect,
A sweet film, but algorithms are actually a mathematical receipe rather than a set of flying rules. For the drone example, the rules needed to make the drone fly and flip would use various algorithms.
He says that the thing we all should be concerned about is what happen when you are in the black box? He means he's pretty much accepting that algorithms and how they work still out of his reach
would be nice if they were transparent about what frameworks and variables they use in the algorithm. The internet was more free before they started making the decisions for 'us'...
we love you !
Am i the only one who dont understand "how do algorithms work: difference between code anc algorithms" this part🙂. Can you explain? Or anyone?
The first time I had some sense of it.
all algorithm is the source of human brain...same way as the computing box seen in the vid...matter is how...a single human brain do it with itself whereas a computerised one do it organised way...human action is ptecedent of it...it can be flawless but no alternative of...about proper use i can say all behind human being...watch big think vid..
The algorithm means steps to solve a mathematical problem. Those who do not understand any mathematics can make a hue and cry about algorithm without saying what mathematical problem he is going to solve.
i still couldn't believe that the girl wrote the drone flying code in scratch.
Great
An Algorithm brought me here … to see this beautiful video
wow I didn't expect Harry Potter to teach me all about algorithms but here we are
I want to know how algorithms work.
So algorithm is kind of a written machine unseen in a computer
If its "thinking" it is learning to me he was hildimg back from really saying AI
When he said Thousands of Algorithm me :( when other He corrected Thousands !! Say Billions me :) now agree
Liked for Bernie Hogan
