Book Description

ISBN-10: 0201403749 | ISBN-13: 978-0201403749 | Publication Date: November 1997 | Edition: 2 Sub

Algorithms and data structures lie at the heart of computer science, and are essential tools for every practising programmer. This book provides an in-depth treatment of the central algorithms and data structures of computer science, together with an introduction to the techniques of design, correctness and analysis required for understanding them. Beginning with coverage of techniques followed by the major application areas of lists, trees, symbol tables, priority queues, sorting, disjoint sets, and graph algorithms. The theory is then completed with a closing chapter on lower bounds.

This review is from: Algorithms and Data Structures: Design, Correctness, Analysis (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

If you are a computer science student or advance programmer, you should get this book. The diagrams and descriptions in the book give you insights of the advance programming which would help you. However you may get confused because the examples in the book is using the programming language Eiffel. You would like this book if and only if you like hard coding.
