In my opinion, even though the original edition dates from 1978, most of the book is still up to date. While keeping the level of difficulty quite reasonable, it really expounds non trivial algorithm design techniques. It also introduces the theory of lower-bounds, something often missing in the well-known textbooks.

Thanks. I received the book at an unbelievable low price. And the book is really nice and helpful! I think learn the knowledge inside the book as much as possible is the best way to reward the seller.

Amazing Amazon. The book arrived on time and came in a very good condition...No complaints.
Contents of the book is very nice...it is written in a simple and understandable language. It also covers all the important topics of Undergraduate courses and contains some advanced topics as well. Good for building basics.

I love this book for being about the only one I have ever met that discusses general-purpose algorithm design techniques in a systematic way. It also features a good coverage of NP-hard problems, while remaining on a very accessible level.

El libro ofrece un contenido muy completo abarcado las distintas facetas del diseño de algoritmos, desde las estructuras elementales como las pílas y los árboles hasta los algoritmos de ordenación.

También ofrece un análisis matemático y demostraciones várias sobre la eficiencia de las distintas versiones de los algoritmos presentados en el libro. Sin duda un ejemplar magnífico para cualquier interesado en algoritmia.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but dated
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 11, 2015

This is a good, but not great, book. It keeps the maths low, unlike some books which can be overwhelming at first. But it is quite an old book, so doesn't have all the latest advances in algorithms and computer science in general. Overall, it is a fine introductory text, but you may want to add the Cormen Algorithms book (or possibly the less intimidating Sedgewick book) to fill in the gaps.
