Ask HN: How to make algorithms out of math formulas?

3 pointsjaxgeller10y ago2 comments

How does one go about turning a mathematical formula into an algorithm? Assuming limited knowledge, where do I start? Learning formulaic syntax?

How difficult would it be to code an algorithm given only a formula? For example coding out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_knapsack_problems

I think you have a bunch of confusion here, and it's not at all clear what you're trying to do.

Are there any courses, readings, or tutorials out there on how to get started?
