The algorithms span a variety of topics from computer science, mathematics and statistics, data science, machine learning, engineering, etc.. The implementations and their associated documentations are meant to provide a learning resource for educators and students. Hence, one may find more than one implementation for the same objective but using different algorithm strategies and optimizations. Online Documentation is generated from the repository source codes directly. The documentation contains all resources including source…

Review the README for scope, installation, examples and limitations. We do not run repository code or certify it.
Evaluate before installing
Review licensing and dependencies, inspect recent commits and unresolved issues, and test in an isolated environment before production use. Stars and forks alone cannot answer these questions.
