In a few minutes I'll join Sunshine Elite Education online and help out like a gym coach in some ways, because Algorithms and Data Structures, at the 8th grade level, is a doorway into a competitive sport: competitive programming (CP). Although the contests are geared towards youth, say high school level, in full adulthood comes the "coding interview" and so the same skills apply.
Then later tonight, I'll be marching a small army of the the future through the numpy + pandas + matplotlib ecosystem. I'd call that Algorithms and Data Structures too, in the numpy's ndarray and the DataFrame are both data structures. With lots of algorithms to go with. My new Hello, World page: https://nbviewer.org/github/4dsolutions/clarusway_data_analysis/blob/main/Kirby%20Notebooks/Intro_Bio.ipynb My way of merging both worlds is to tackle the "longest increasing sequence in a matrix" problem, a coding interview classic, with numpy. I'm sure that would not be acceptable in the contest area, but it's a way of merging my two worlds. If you want to see more, click on USAOS in the Notebook allow and scroll to where I'm developing those algorithms (Kadane's Algorithm etc.): Eureka Moments. https://nbviewer.org/github/4dsolutions/elite_school/blob/master/Exercises.ipynb#USA-Computing-Olympiad I think of this as anthropology, me some guy in the field.
