This fourth edition of Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne’s Algorithms is the leading textbook on algorithms today and is widely used in colleges and universities worldwide. This book surveys the most important computer algorithms currently in use and provides a full treatment of data structures and algorithms for sorting, searching, graph processing, and string processing--including fifty algorithms every programmer should know. In this edition, new Java implementations are written in an accessible modular programming style, where all of the code is exposed to the reader and ready to use.

The algorithms in this book represent a body of knowledge developed over the last 50 years that has become indispensable, not just for professional programmers and computer science students but for any student with interests in science, mathematics, and engineering, not to mention students who use computation in the liberal arts.

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).

Undergrad using book to supplement Algorithms course

October 23, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This book has been a fantastic supplement to my learning while taking my first Algorithms course in college. Sedgewick and Wayne show detailed step-by-step explanations of recursive calls, data-structures being built, etc. My class textbook is Algorithm Design which is extremely dense and can be exhausting to read. Whenever I'm not understanding something from that book I hop on over to this one, read the same topic with much more explanations, and it becomes clear. This book also implements everything in Java, and since my school's primary language is Java it helps me have a stronger grasp of actual implementations and helps me link algorithms and data-structures to my actual projects. There's also lots of supplemented material with this book such as Coursera and their booksite. Recommend it for everyone!

Wonderful Book on Algorithms

November 18, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Well written and well organized covers all of the important algorithms. I have Robert Sedgewick's two prior books Algorithms in C. This book is much easier to understand and present much simpler manner. I bought this as way of preparing for interviews and it is helping me a lot. At the end of the day It is not hard to impress Google. Amazon and FB engineers at interviews when you are well prepared.

Focused on understandability over all else

August 28, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

More beginner-friendly than some of the other popular algorithms textbooks. It doesn't crush the reader with proofs or some weird pseudocode language. It doesn't rely on having much math knowledge. It uses laudably-simple Java. The exercises are great. The diagrams are great. There are videos on Coursera if you want verbal explanations too. Doesn't get hung-up on esoteric theory terminology. Contains all the algorithms and datastructures for most job interviews. To build some advanced algorithmic software, this is not your reference; it is too basic. As a bonus, there are great hints about software design practice sprinkled through the book as they are relevant.

An outstanding book, small rendering issues.

October 23, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

The book itself is outstanding. IMO, this is the best textbook for students who really want to learn "algorithms" regarding implementation and its analysis. Compared to CLRS, Sedgewick's approach is more accessible and takes more care about how an algorithm is actually implemented. Besides, the booksite and the course in Coursera, especially the programming assignments and quiz, are extremely useful. Other aspects of the books including algorithm design (OOP), coding style and comment are very good. Readers not only study about algorithms but also about software engineering. I think the algorithms reading roadmap is: Algorithms (Sedgewick) -> CLRS -> Introduction to Analysis of Algorithms -> TAoCP.

However, the huge problem which makes me voting 4 star for the book is that some figures and illustrates are rendered badly (page 9, 675, 624, 621, 579, 576, 346, 326). Although I requested Amazon a replacement, the new book still has the same issue.

Great text for algorithm beginners

September 19, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

For beginners, this book is a nice guide to algorithm compared with others like Introduction to Algorithm. The range of algorithms and data structures covered in the book is reasonable so you won't find your study like an endless journey. The algorithms have been implemented in Java so they could be tested to verify the result. This is much better than staring at pseudo code and trying to figure out how to implement yourself. Also the amount of text covering mathematical proof is limited, and you won't find it difficult to skip them.

Pretty good.

May 4, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

It has an excellent helper website that allows you to download most of the example code from the book and a few java helper classes to make reading and writing to files, stdout, and stdin quick and easy. It has a few helper classes like the run-time stopwatch all available for downloading.

Some of the explanations and code examples were a little overly complicated- Sorting was explained using a 15-20 letter phase instead of starting with a single word to make it easier to digest and them moving on to the more complex example. On most topics our prof explained the algorithms a little differently than the book and his way was easier to comprehend.

Broad, Approachable, Well-supported

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Excellent book. Approachable, well-organized and also supported by a top notch website and course on Coursera.

If you're new to the study of algorithms, the trio of this book, its website, and the Coursera course are a potent combination for successful learning.

This is a more approachable alternative to the CLRS algorithms book.
