Lecture 1: Algorithmic Thinking, Peak Finding
Overview of course content, including an motivating problem for each of the modules. The lecture then covers 1-D and 2-D peak finding, using this problem to point out some issues involved in designing efficient algorithms.

Lecture 2: Models of Computation, Document Distance
This lecture describes an algorithm as a computational procedure to solve a problem, covers the random access machine and pointer models of computation, and introduces the document distance problem.

Recitation 2: Python Cost Model, Document Distance
This recitation covers the Python cost model and looks at the code for document distance, including main and most functions except count_frequency.

Lecture 3: Insertion Sort, Merge Sort
Sorting is introduced, and motivated by problems that become easier once the inputs are sorted. The lecture covers insertion sort, then discusses merge sort and analyzes its running time using a recursion tree.
