Introduction to Algorithms 3 Edition (Paperback) Price: Rs.394

This internationally acclaimed textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the modern study of computer algorithms. It covers a broad range of algorithms in depth, yet makes their design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers. Each chapter is relatively self-contained and presents an algorithm, a design technique, an application area, or a related topic. The algorithms are described and designed in a manner to be readable by anyone who has done a little programming. The explanations have been kept elementary without sacrificing depth of coverage or mathematical rigor.

The third edition has been revised and updated throughout. It includes two completely new chapters, on van Emde Boas trees and multithreaded algorithms, and substantial additions to the chapter on recurrences (now called “Divide-and-Conquer”). It features improved treatment of dynamic programming and greedy algorithms and a new notion of edge-based flow in the material on flow networks. Many new exercises and problems have been added in this edition.

The text is intended primarily for students studying algorithms or data structures. As it discusses engineering issues in algorithm design, as well as mathematical aspects, it is equally well suited for self-study by technical professionals.

Must have in the rack

Having read many books on Algorithms, this one definitely deserves a special place. I would not be flattering if I can say that this is the bible of Algorithms. Folks, if you are trying to learn Algo's and land up in niche place, this is the book you should refer.
Last not the least, thank you flipkart for giving 40% off on such a wonderful book

Excellent book

This is a complete book (for undergraduate level), like a bible for algorithms. With page number running into four digits, it's a very detailed and descriptive book, which makes it an excellent learning resource for beginners.

A good grip of mathematics will be of great help. However, most of what is required is put into the Appendix, so you won't have to go hunting for a piece of maths.

This is a great book, which is further solidified by the fact that it is used as a textbook for MIT (Massachusetts, USA) Undergraduate Course 'Introduction to Algorithms'.

If you are looking for short, concise and yet an elegant book on algorithms, try this:

Fantabulous Book !!!

Hello everybody,
Actually I m from the It stream but i m a little weak in the area of data structures and algorithms.I came to know about this book through flipcart and the reviews about this book helped me to absorb the rough idea of this book. So i ordered this book and thanks to the Flipcart since they delivered the book within the stipulated time. I would say that its the bible for Data structures. the concepts have been explained well and in the high class manner. the real time examples have been quoted well and the concepts can be easily understood even for the beginners.
So i would say that if u feel u r slow in Data structures, U go for this book "Intro to algorithms".... This book will turn u into the master of DS.
Thanks to the flipcart team for the delivery of this book on the exact date.....

Good Math is required - Should be patient - Very detail description

I read 1st part of the book (as a beginner who knew almost (not totally) about algorithms). Here is what I felt

* Great description of algorithms and analysis.

* You will love the pseudo code

* Good math skills are needed. Certain algorithms are just thrown at readers as exercises - Don't skip them

* For self learners: Should take a year to complete (approx, might take more). You got to be patient to cover all areas - especially exercises.

* As a text book? : Yeah! Follow your class lecturers, refer the topic in this book at home, get the exercises done, you are King!

* This book talks about lots of topics which generally aren't covered in many books. That's why its difficult to understand, a big 1300 pgs.

* IN BRIEF:
(If you got good math, enough time and good tutor or guide, get this one)
