5.0 out of 5 starsAppealing book
By Michal Kouril on September 18, 2004
Format: Hardcover
This book will help anyone learn about the design and analysis of algorithms-even without the prior knowledge of algorithms. It starts with the basic principles, using good and proven examples such as factorial computation. Anyone with basic mathematics knowledge will have no problem following the authors.

If you look at the book's table of contents (e.g. by clicking on the link above), you can see that not only does this text cover the vast field of sequential algorithms (starting from the simple ones all the way to the special algorithms such as Red-Black tree), but it also covers the relatively recent area of parallel algorithms.

Having both a sequential and parallel side, this book is rather unique. Others discuss only sequential algorithms or specialize in parallel algorithms. Here, you get good coverage for both areas, especially sequential algorithms.

The examples are constructed for a wide audience, test your knowledge of the presented material, and challenge your mind. The book should appeal to beginners, advanced students, and algorithm enthusiasts.

5.0 out of 5 starsWell written, full of pseudocode and examples
By Robert F. Guiher on August 31, 2004
Format: Hardcover
I took the undergrad/grad version of the class from one of the co-authors last quarter and found it to be quite enjoyable. I agree that an answer key to at least some of the exercises would be helpful if you were trying to work through this material on your own, but I was quite impressed with the diagrams and figures, especially the ones illustrating the operation of the pseudocode. I felt the book had a good mix of theoretical discussion with more practical "hands-on" treatment of the specific algorithms discussed. Is it "Algorithms for Dummies?" No. But if you work through the illustrations as you read the text, I found it quite understandable, and don't know how you could simplify it any further without losing something in the translation. All in all, I was quite pleased.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat introductory text
By Richard L. Altherr on October 16, 2004
Format: Hardcover
I recently used this book in an undergraduate course on algorithm design and analysis. While some areas of the book are lacking (specifically answers to critical exercises and some concepts were a little rough in their explainations), overall the book provides a good introduction to both sequential and parallel algorithms.

The diagrams provided in the text help with understanding how more complex algorithms work and allow the reader to trace the operation of the algorithm. This proved invaluable to my studies as I could not only read the psuedocode, but also see the execution without writing a program myself.

While some areas of the book need a little work, I think it serves as a useful textbook for class as well as a reference afterwards.
