How to Figure Out the Day of the Week For Any Date Ever

The video introduces John H. Conway and his fascination with games, leading to his creation of the Doomsday Algorithm. This algorithm allows one to determine the day of the week for any given date using a simple set of rules. The video explains the steps to calculate the doomsday for any year and provides examples, such as the Declaration of Independence and the first moon landing. It also discusses the concept of algorithms, their efficiency, and historical context, including contributions from Lewis Carroll. The video emphasizes the power of algorithms in solving complex problems efficiently.
