Algoxy is a book on elementary functional algorithms and data structures.
The project addresses the need for educational material that teaches algorithmic thinking through functional programming paradigms. Rather than presenting algorithms in imperative languages, the book grounds its approach in functional programming concepts, using Haskell as the primary vehicle for implementation and explanation. This perspective helps readers understand algorithms from a different angle, emphasizing immutability, recursion, and functional composition as core problem-solving techniques.
The book suits developers and computer science students who want to deepen their understanding of algorithms while learning or strengthening functional programming skills. It works best for those already comfortable with basic programming concepts who are interested in how classical algorithms translate to functional paradigms. The material is particularly valuable for anyone working in functional languages or exploring functional approaches to algorithmic problems, as it bridges the gap between traditional algorithm textbooks and functional programming practice.
The project maintains a stable, documentation-focused character with content written in TeX for typesetting. Development activity centers on refining and expanding the educational material rather than building software features. The repository serves as a long-form educational resource where updates reflect improvements to explanations, additional algorithm coverage, or clarifications of existing material.
