Algorithms

Descriptions of algorithms are based on complete implementations and on a discussion of the operations of these programs on a consistent set of examples. Instead of presenting pseudo-code, Sedgewick and Wayne work with real code, so that the programs can quickly be put to practical use. Programs are written in Java, but in a style such that most of the code can be reused to develop implementations in other modern programming languages.

Data types

Sedgewick and Wayne use a modern programming style based on data abstraction, so that algorithms and their data structures are encapsulated together.

Applications

Each chapter has a detailed description of applications where the algorithms described play a critical role. These range from applications in physics and molecular biology, to engineering computers and systems, to familiar tasks such as data compression and searching on the web.

A scientific approach

The emphasizes developing mathematical models for describing the performance of algorithms, using the models to develop hypotheses about performance, and then testing the hypotheses by running the algorithms in realistic contexts.

Breadth of coverage

Segewick and Wayne’s primary goal is to introduce the most important algorithms in use today to as wide an audience as possible. These algorithms are generally ingenious creations that, remarkably, can each be expressed in just a dozen or two lines of code. As a group, they represent problem-solving power of amazing scope. They have enabled the construction of computational artifacts, the solution of scientific problems, and the development of commercial applications that would not have been feasible without them.

They cover basic abstract data types, sorting algorithms, searching algorithms, graph processing, and string processing. They keep the material in algorithmic context, describing data structures, algorithm design paradigms, reduction, and problem-solving models. They cover classic methods that have been taught since the 1960s and new methods that have been invented in recent years.

About the Author

Robert Sedgewick has been a Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University since 1985, where he was the founding Chairman of the Department of Computer Science. He has held visiting research positions at Xerox PARC, Institute for Defense Analyses, and INRIA, and is member of the board of directors of Adobe Systems. Professor Sedgewick’s research interests include analytic combinatorics, design and analysis of data structures and algorithms, and program visualization. His landmark book, Algorithms, now in its fourth edition, has appeared in numerous versions and languages over the past thirty years. In addition, with Kevin Wayne, he is the coauthor of the highly acclaimed textbook, Introduction to Programming in Java: An Interdisciplinary Approach (Addison-Wesley, 2008).

Kevin Wayne is the Phillip Y. Goldman Senior Lecturer in Computer Science at Princeton University, where he has been teaching since 1998. He received a Ph.D. in operations research and industrial engineering from Cornell University. His research interests include the design, analysis, and implementation of algorithms, especially for graphs and discrete optimization. With Robert Sedgewick, he is the coauthor of the highly acclaimed textbook, Introduction to Programming in Java: An Interdisciplinary Approach (Addison-Wesley, 2008).

4.0 out of 5 stars Great content. Printing could be better
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2020
I started reading "Algorithms" after Sedgewick and Wayne' s "Computer Science: An Interdisciplinary Approach," which I think is a great place to start for those who are new to (object-oriented) programming. This book, Algorithms, (and the Coursera course or the COS 226 at Princeton) builds your knowledge further by fleshing out the theory behind the data structures. I only made it through the first 3 chapters so far, but I think I became better at writing cleaner, concise, and correct code by reading this book and doing some coding assignments (of the Coursera course, which is based on this book and/or the course COS 226 at Princeton which uses this book). I like this book and the exercises because they provide a good mix of theory and practice. I feel like this book is great preparation for interviews, as well as for further study from books which use pseudo-code.

The content itself is great, but I am deducting a point because of the print quality of the textbook. For some reason, a lot of the pages in my copy look grayer than they should. I'm not sure if it's a book formatting issue where the font color was set to gray accidentally or if it is a publisher issue, but for some pages the black text just doesn't appear as crisp and dark. I attached some pictures but my phone seems to color correct things and the difference in the photos doesn't seem big. In person, the variation in the black text throughout the book is definitely noticeable, though.
