Sorting is one of the most basic and important problems in computer science. Usually the first algorithm taught in a computer science class
is a sorting algorithm. Efficient and optimal sorting algorithms play a vital role in both theory and in applications. In this talk, we give a brief introduction about sorting by bounded length reversals. We talk about its application in computational biology and music theory, etc.
