Information Retrieval is in our Computer Science group, a list of resources about the ideas behind computing, like how algorithms and data work. We only know the title, short description and level from our list.

Is it for me?
It is for curious people who want to know why computers work, not only how to use them. Many items are Advanced or Intermediate, so it suits about age 11-13 and up.
Grown-ups: some material is university level. A hard item is not a problem; just choose an easier one.
