Group Alpha is working on the task of animating algorithms. Defining an algorithm as a 'step-by-step problem-solving procedure', we can say that this problem dates back to the stone age, when neanderthals (men) would demonstrate the best spear-throwing methods (usually on each other). Unfortunately the communication skills of the average compsci are considerably below that of a cave-person, and so they need computer assistance.
