Topics:

Choose one of the following algorithms areas to write about. Potential algorithm topics related to the algorithm area are included in parenthesis as examples.

1.Hashing Algorithms (e.g.SHA-3;Message Digest-5;Cryptography algorithms such as Advanced Encryption Standard, Blowfish,Elliptic curve cryptography;Digital signature algorithms; Bitcoin Mining)

2.Compression Algorithms (e.g. LZO, Data differencing, Huffman Coding)

3.String Matching (e.g Google's PageRank algorithm , DNA sequence algorithms, Spell checking algorithms)

4.Memory Management (e.g. Garbage Collection, Buddy Methods, Paging algorithms,Sequential-Fit Methods)
