What Are Algorithms and Why Do They Matter?
Algorithms are step-by-step procedures or formulas used for solving problems. Whether it’s sorting data, searching through information, or optimizing a task, algorithms lie at the heart of computer science.
Understanding algorithms:
-
Builds logical thinking and precision.
-
Prepares students for coding interviews and competitive programming.
-
Lays the groundwork for advanced topics like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
Through regular sessions and expert workshops, the Algoris Club ensures that students not only learn these foundational concepts but also know how to apply them effectively.
Flagship Event: Introduction to Algorithms – 28th September, 2021
A Milestone Session by Prof. (Dr.) P. Nagabhushan
One of the landmark events conducted by the club was the “Introduction to Algorithms” workshop, held on 28th September 2021, featuring Prof. (Dr.) P. Nagabhushan, Director of IIIT Allahabad.
In this session, students were introduced to various fundamental algorithms such as:
-
Algorithm to add two numbers
-
Algorithm to find the largest of three numbers
-
Algorithm for solving quadratic equations
-
Factorial algorithm
-
Prime number checker
-
Fibonacci series generator
Hands-On Coding for Enhanced Learning
The session also included a practical hands-on component, where students implemented basic algorithms using their preferred programming languages. This workshop encouraged first-hand experience, peer interaction, and real-time debugging—critical skills for any budding developer.
Participation and Gratitude
The session saw more than 100 active participants from various departments. The Head of the Computer Science and Engineering Department concluded the event with a heartfelt vote of thanks, appreciating the speaker’s insights and the enthusiastic participation of students.
Activities Conducted by Algoris Club
The Algoris Club organizes year-round engaging activities aimed at academic enrichment and personal growth. Key initiatives include:
Algorithm Bootcamps
Short-term focused sessions where members learn core concepts like recursion, dynamic programming, and greedy algorithms with guided problem-solving sessions.
Coding Challenges & Hackathons
Weekly coding marathons and intra-college competitions foster a healthy spirit of competition, preparing students for platforms like HackerRank and Codeforces.
Expert Talks and Workshops
Besides the flagship event by Dr. Nagabhushan, the club frequently invites industry professionals and academic leaders for seminars on:
-
Optimization Techniques
-
Time and Space Complexity
-
Applications of Algorithms in AI, ML, and Data Science
Peer-Learning Circles
Informal student-led groups meet to discuss challenging problems, share strategies, and assist beginners in their journey through the world of algorithms.
