    Python implementations and tests for the Algorithms Illuminated book series. Some test cases from the following repository: https://github.com/beaunus/stanford-algs

    I think it is important if you are building tools but less so for applying them. Most DS/DA tools abstract away all the implementation details where the type of knowledge from a typical DS&A course matters. For learning, I LOVE Tim Roughgarden's lectures and book series. For me, they hit a great balance between intuition and depth. His book only provides pseudo-code, but I've implemented all of the problems with test cases in Python if that would help (as have many others if you Google for it). https://github.com/andrewdoss/algorithms_illuminated
