The Algorithm Design Manual

E-Book Overview

....The most comprehensive guide to designing practical and efficient algorithms!.... This newly expanded and updated second edition of the best-selling classic continues to take the «mystery» out of designing algorithms, and analyzing their efficacy and efficiency. Expanding on the first edition, the book now serves as the primary textbook of choice for algorithm design courses while maintaining its status as the premier practical reference guide to algorithms for programmers, researchers, and students. The reader-friendly Algorithm Design Manual provides straightforward access to combinatorial algorithms technology, stressing design over analysis. The first part, Techniques, provides accessible instruction on methods for designing and analyzing computer algorithms. The second part, Resources, is intended for browsing and reference, and comprises the catalog of algorithmic resources, implementations and an extensive bibliography. The Algorithm Design Manual, Second Edition «...the book is an algorithm-implementation treasure trove, and putting all of these implementations in one place was no small feat. The list of implementations [and] extensive bibliography make the book an invaluable resource for everyone interested in the subject.» --ACM Computing Reviews «It has all the right ingredients: rich contents, friendly, personal language, subtle humor, the right references, and a plethora of pointers to resources.» -- P. Takis Metaxas, Wellesley College «This is the most approachable book on algorithms I have.» -- Megan Squire, Elon University, USA
