摘要：

The role of algorithmic thinking in transforming both the descriptive sciences and the humanities is discussed. Mathematics plays an important role amongst sciences rank because of two reasons it was useful in other sciences that it was known as 'hand maiden of the science' and it was 'pure' due to its focus on abstraction and formal logic. Biology has earned renown for its advances in genetics, evolution, immunology, and embryology. There is same case with physics, which has a precise mathematics of ensemble behavior, also known as statistical mechanics, that doesn't describe the behavior of individual particles. Classics of computer science (such as binary search and knapsack algorithms) the additional algorithms of natural selection, DNA replication, plate tectonics, and more will be required to discover new realms.
