1. Introduction

Algorithms are Step-by-step procedures to solve a problem.

Key aspects of algorithms include control structures and their pseudocode.

There are many examples of using python in maths.

1.1. Control structures

Control flow is the execution order of instructions or functions in a program.

Flow of control is implemented via control structures:

• sequence, which executes line by line in written order

• selection, which chooses between alternatives

• iteration, where looping determines how many times the instruction is executed.
