5.0 out of 5 starsBrilliant Introduction to Essence of Computer Science
By Edmon Begoli on August 8, 2009
Format: Hardcover
Subjects from the theoretical computer science can often be very difficult to grasp.
Yet, their importance and the presence in everyday, technology interwoven, life cannot be overstated.

Complexity, computability, algorithms are foundations beneath everyday programming, inter-networking, security, data processing.

This is a brilliant book that only true master of the subject
can produce, but that all in both computer science and IT can appreciate.

In this book, Dr. Hromkovic with ease and in a very readable, understandable terms, explains some of the most challenging subjects from the theory of computation - algorithms, countable vs. uncountable infinity, complexity, computability, decidability, cryptography, quantum computing.

Dr. Hromkovic starts his explanations in a very simple, approachable, readable way, and he slowly and steadily leads the reader towards the level of deep qualitative understanding. His language always
reminds accessible even when he is deep into a real of theory and complex matters.

I found this book as I was looking for a gentle, readable introduction
into a complex subject. At the time of reading I was a PhD student in Computer Science
whose background was more on an engineering and less on a theoretical side.

I academically needed this material, but I also sought it as I developed the love for the subject.

This book was a perfect find for all my academic and intellectual needs.

5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful book - discussing the basics as well as the advanced Algorithms used
By Sumit Pal on May 20, 2011
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is not a typical Algorithm book - it is more a book - that describes the current state of Algorithms - how they are used in different things and in nature.

This is a very good book that takes you from simplistic algorithmic concepts to the deep descriptions of how Algorithms are part of everything in this universe - to the open nature of algorithms as to what they can do - and what are the possibilities of Algorithms and where they can be applied.

Reading / the book was a real pleasure - though since I come from a Computer Science Background - the first few chapters were - just basics for me.

The author has a good writing style and examples are perfectly used to explain the concepts and ideas and thoughts.

This book is more of a fun reading and at the same time very revealing on the capabilities of Algorithms.
