It is take from another CS book, may be useful to have a slightly different way of explaining the same items. Scott Shea

http://interactivepython.org/runestone/static/pythonds/SortSearch/TheSequentialSearch.html This is an interactive website about Sequential Search. The website made more sense than the book because of the diagrams and questions they offered. It provides clear understanding and examples. -Justin Cabacungan (Date Added: March 10, 2016)

Binary Search
https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-science/algorithms/binary-search/a/binary-search I found this link to be really helpful because it provided a lot of information in an easy to understand way. I find that Khan Academy is a really helpful site to find information on. Added: 12 MAR 2016 By: Kylie Sauter

I found this video helpful with understanding how binary search works, one of the most efficient searching techniques. The video is complete with examples and an explanation on its scalability.

- Andrew Lund (3/12/16)

https://www.topcoder.com/community/data-science/data-science-tutorials/binary-search/ This definition and example helped me when it came to learning about binary search. I am a hands on learner so actually seeing an example of a way something is supposed to be done really helps out. (March 12, 2016) -Danielle Gary

Selection Sort http://www.algolist.net/Algorithms/Sorting/Selection_sort Added on March 8th, 2016. Last updated in 2009. This website gives an overview of how selection sort takes place. It also adds a paragraph or two explaining the method as well ask the Java and C++ instructions. Urooj Haider

Intro to Algorithms https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-science/algorithms Date Added: 10/22/15. This website goes over the basics of algorithms in computer science. It has exercises that covers binary search, insertion sort, selection sort, recursion, quick sort, and other topics. Each section has an explanation about the process and how it works, and exercises on how to program it. ~Caitlyn Lambert-Hutchinson

Algorithms
https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-science/algorithms date added: 10/23/2015 This website has great descriptions and information on algorithms. It has a break down of the different topics including sorting, searching, and recursive algorithms. It then divides these topics into sub topics, they also feature examples. Zachary Brogna a set of instructions for solving a problem or a subproblem in a finite amount of time using a finite amount of data. Liz Cochrane

This site uses interactive diagrams that help me understand binary search better than the book did. It also made writing the pseudocode much easier. With the book, I did not understand what the expressions meant in pseudocode or how they were obtained. This website explained how each line of the pseudocode is created. ~Rebecca Sherr

Problem Solving and Algorithms https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63BBWWsqsT0 Apr. 4 2013 Oct. 24 2015 This youtube video focuses on solving real world problems that a programer runs in to when developing a program. With this instruction you get more in-depth look at how to solve these issues from chapter 7 but also show us how to incorporate better solving skills to these problem. This video can greatly increase your ability to under stand all of the harder issues explained in the chapter by step by step process. Zachary Nader.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5SrAga1pno To begin, this youtube video provides a very basic and clear understanding of how binary searches work. Not only this, but the video also explains binary search trees, which are in the next chapter after. This was doubly useful in my understanding of how a binary search worked.
