Stand-up Maths explores the logic and utility of various sorting algorithms, ranging from standard computer science classics to unconventional, surprising methods discovered by accident. Through these examples, the video illustrates how algorithmic thinking can be both a powerful practical tool for developers and a source of genuine intellectual curiosity.

Special thanks to Dr Clara Nellist for making the time to hop on a call with me and brave the outside conditions above the LHC.
