About this episode

Today I am with David Kopec, author of Classic Computer Science Problems in Python, published by Manning Publications.

His book deepens your knowledge of problem solving techniques from the realm of computer science by challenging you with interesting and realistic scenarios, exercises, and of course algorithms.
There are examples in the major topics any data scientist should be familiar with, for example search, clustering, graphs, and much more.
