theory behind the binary indexed tree or Fenwick tree data structure
how to use this data structure in computer vision and artificial intelligence
implementation in Python
Chapter 2: LRU Caches
what are caches and why are they so important
how to use doubly linked lists to implement caches
theory behind LRU caches
