There are some interesting algorithms in simulation from Physics, Chemistry, and Engineering especially regarding Monte Carlo simulation: Heat Bath algorithm, Metro-Police algorithm, Markov Chain Monte Carlo, etc.

Contributing.md doesn't doesn't appear to contain any actual guidlines, and the link only leads back to the same document: Java/CONTRIBUTING.md.

Add quickselect algorithm. Quickselect is a selection algorithm to find the kth smallest element in an unordered list.

I'd suggest a better differentiation between Best and Breadth First Search in the Graphs section.

Acronyms BFS and DFS are used all over the place, but "breadth" and "depth" aren't mentioned anywhere, making it hard for a newcomer to understand what is being referred to.

steps to reproduce

Write a loop, from 1 to 80000, each time add a random int to the max heap.

In theory it takes very little time(NlogN, N=80000, <1sec ), but the program does take a long time.

I'v also tested the BinaryHeap in https://github.com/SolutionsDesign/Algorithmia, it performs well, so it is probably due to the bad algorithm.
