When teaching algorithms, the teacher's main goal should be to convey the underlying ideas and to help the students form correct mental models related to the algorithm. This process can often be facilitated by using suitable metaphors. This work provides a set of novel metaphors identified and developed as suitable tools for teaching many of the "classic textbook" algorithms taught in undergraduate courses worldwide. Each chapter provides exercises and didactic notes for teachers based on the authors? experiences when using the metaphor in a classroom setting. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in computer science. 606 $aAlgorithms$xStudy and teaching 606 $aAlgorithms 615 0$aAlgorithms$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aAlgorithms. 676 $a374.26 700 $aForisek$b Michal$01424094 701 $aSteinova$b Monika$01761248 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910741193303321 996 $aExplaining algorithms using metaphors$94200574 997 $aUNINA
