This is a superb book but should not be the first book for this subject to buy for a rookie. The course material meets the industry standards and includes the advanced topics mostly. If you are a computer science student you must go for it but first get your elementary topics cleared from the books like Data Structures with C and Data Structures and Algorithms Made Easy.

This book is the sole book you need to be an expert in algorithms. It has great depth, and great breath. It makes it voluminous - but then you just need to read this book to be an expert. Easy to read also

Must read, if you are computer engineer or willing to be one of them. I didn't read much but still it's worth buying.

Flipkart shipment was awesome as always.

I found it very much exciting to build the concepts in algorithms from the scratch. Although some mathematical background is require but that too is available in the appendix separately....thanx flipkart for amazing services!

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 orig...

One of the best book for beginners.
I was most impressed by FlipKart's delivery package; wrapped nicely & a free bookmark ;)

I HAVE HAVE ABOUT THIS BOOK FROM MANY PEOPLE ESPECIALLY FROM THOSE WHO CONSTITUTE HIRING TEAM AT GOOGLE,MS AND OTHER BIG BRANDS ESPECIALLY IN U.S.A SO I THOUGHT THE BOOK WILL BE WORTH A TRY AND I PURCHASED IT.I CAN'T SAY WHETHER THE BOOK IS BETTER OR BEST BECAUSE I HAVE HARDLY USED IT,I THINK FOR AN INDIAN STUDNT WHO IS IN THE PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT HE SHOULD USE ANY OTHER BOOK ALSO FOR UNDERSTANDING THOSE EASY CONCEPTS ALSO BUT THIS BOOK HAS TAKEN FORGRANTED THAT YOU KNOW IT,OUR SYLLABUS AT UN...

Book content: advance
Paper quality: readable
Seller packaging: average (I suggest use hard cardboard)
Value for money: YES

The book is very good, it provide in-depth knowledge on Algorithms design. However I would not recommend this book for beginners. This is more like reference book. Mathematical notation are good but sometime cryptic to read.

This is the best book that I have come across as far as introductory algorithms text goes. The explanations, proofs and applications are concise, clear and on point. This text is perfect for anyone who is willing to learn about algorithms and has the necessary maths as well as CS background.
