Hello!

Welcome to today's edition of Data Science Weekly's 5-minute Data Scientist.

Our goal: A strong dose of data science in 5 minutes or less.


Introduction

In today's newsletter, we're diving into Greedy Algorithms, a problem-solving approach that makes the locally optimal choice at each step. While this might sound like a recipe for short-sighted decisions, these algorithms often lead to elegant and efficient solutions for complex problems in data science and beyond.
