Ah you're absolutely right. Those examples are more about shifting paradigms over science. I just gave a few examples that came into my head at the moment. Some example of algorithm advances actually furthering science: Compressive sensing - improves MRI reconstruction above Nyquist frequency Union Quick Find - solving percolation problems way faster KD trees - makes particle simulation a tractable problem Sources Princeton Algorithms I and II https://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/fall18/cos226/assignments.php https://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/fall18/cos226/a...
