Algorithmic Thinking Workshop for Zorlu-MEF YetGen Teachers

📝 Algoritmik düşünme ve problem çözme dersi ile ilgili temel konular anlatıldı.

🧮 İş sıralama problemini çözmek için bir algoritma geliştirildi.

🗺️ Yandex navigasyonunun nasıl çalıştığı ve mesafeleri nasıl bildiği açıklandı.

⭐️ Geographic information systems (GIS) are used to convert maps into tables and calculate distances between locations.

🌍 GIS is valuable in various fields such as marketing, transportation, and facility location determination.

🚗 Yandex, a navigation app, uses optimized algorithms to find the shortest and fastest routes based on user data and real-time traffic conditions.

🌍 Geographical Information Systems and satellite data are used in an algorithm to continuously optimize routes based on real-time traffic and distance.

🚗 The algorithm provides alternative routes to avoid traffic congestion and save time during navigation, considering factors like accidents, weather conditions, and population density.

💡 The algorithm is more efficient than traditional methods of navigation, such as asking for directions or relying on local knowledge, as it takes into account multiple data sources and real-time updates.

🔑 The video discusses the problem of identifying a counterfeit coin among a set of coins and presents a method to do so using a balance scale.

🤔 The method involves dividing the coins into three groups, weighing two of the groups, and comparing the results to determine the group that contains the counterfeit coin.

💡 By following this method, it is possible to identify the counterfeit coin in three weighings and determine whether it is heavier or lighter than the other coins.

Introduction to algorithmic thinking and problem solving.

Using a heuristic algorithm to solve a problem in real-life scenarios.

Optimizing solutions by minimizing costs and maximizing efficiency.

✅ Amazon-like company is planning to open six warehouses in Turkey based on demand in different regions.

🌍 The warehouses are strategically located in regions with high population densities to minimize transportation costs.

💡 An algorithm is used to select the cities for the warehouses based on factors like population, distance, and demand.

📚 Introduction to algorithmic thinking and optimization in supply chain management.

💡 Using Excel to model and optimize supply chain networks by assigning depots to cities.

🏭 The impact of the number of depots on transportation costs and inventory maintenance.
