Book Summary of Introduction To Algorithms

If you are looking for a basic textbook on algorithms, you cannot go wrong with Introduction to Algorithms. Often regarded as the bible in the field, it has become the standard reference book for the subject.

Summary of Introduction to Algorithms

In a setting where books on algorithms are rigorously academic and complex in nature, Introduction to Algorithms takes a different approach. The algorithms in this book are presented in such a way that they are easy to understand, and each algorithm (in every chapter) is followed by interesting information on where it is applied. The book doesn't sacrifice depth for the sake of readability, and it scores with students and professionals mainly due to its comprehensive range.

The book covers topics ranging from Sorting and Order Statistics and Advanced Data Structures to Advanced Design and Analysis Techniques, Graph Algorithms, Computational Geometry and String Matching. The third edition of the book features chapters on multi-threaded algorithms and Van Emde Boas trees, which are additional concepts that can come of use to students. The sections on greedy algorithms and dynamic programming have been updated in the third edition too.

This edition also comes loaded with practice problems and exercises that can help students understand the concepts better.

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:

A great book at a great price !!

This is the best book for any computer programmer. I have been writing computer software codes and patches for a long time now and I'm always in search of doing things faster and easily. Which is only possible if you are good at algorithms, which this book is excellent at.
It would help you learn how to write algorithms and make your task faster and simpler. It is a must buy for any computer science or mathematics student.
Also it is from a great publisher- MIT itself.

The price of the original US edition is around 2700 INR but I got it in just 276 INR (of course its a LPE edition), which is great in itself.

And for Flipkart, best service as always !

good to have in kitty

Algorithms, which perform some sequence of mathematical operations, form the core of computer programming. Intended as a text for computer programming courses, especially undergraduate courses in data structures and graduate courses in algorithms, an “Introduction to Algorithms” provides
