What is grokking algorithms? A new kind of algorithm? A new way of doing data science? No. The official definition of grokking is "To understand profoundly through intuition or empathy." It also means "to empathize or communicate sympathetically (with); also, to experience enjoyment." In short, it's all about learning algorithms in a way that they are part of you, not just memorizing what to do. To grok means to learn in such a way that your view of programming is changed forever.

I will walk you through some of the most popular algorithms in an easy-to-understand way that ensures you truly understand them and become fully immersed in them. So much so that when you've finished the book, you'll be excited to go out and learn more.
