A Note to Readers
This book focuses on computational thinking and search algorithms. The stories introduce and illustrate computational concepts at a high level, exploring the motivation behind them and their application in a noncomputer domain. This book is not a comprehensive text, and the stories are not intended as a substitute for a solid technical description of computer science. Instead, they are meant to be used like illustrations: they supplement the full concept and aid understanding.
The book covers a variety of computational approaches that all share the broad categorization of search algorithms. Concepts are presented first within the context of the story, and then explained more technically in a section laid out as lecture notes ...
