THIS TEXTBOOK is about computer science. It is also about Python. However, there is much more. The study of algorithms and data structures is central to understanding what computer science is all about. Learning computer science is not unlike learning any other type of difficult subject matter. The only way to be successful is through deliberate and incremental exposure to the fundamental ideas. A beginning computer scientist needs practice so that there is a thorough understanding before continuing on to the more complex parts of the curriculum. In addition, a beginner needs to be given the opportunity to be successful and gain confidence. This textbook is designed to serve as a text for a first course on data structures and algorithms, typically taught as the second course in the computer science curriculum. Even though the second course is considered more advanced than the first course, this book assumes you are beginners at this level. You may still be struggling with some of the basic ideas and skills from a first computer science course and yet be ready to further explore the discipline and continue to practice problem solving. We cover abstract data types and data structures, writing algorithms, and solving problems. We look at a number of data structures and solve classic problems that arise. The tools and techniques that you learn here will be applied over and over as you continue your study of computer science.

Half way through this book and I’m finding it easy to understand almost everything the author is trying to explain. It’s a good book for anyone to learn and relearn data structures and algorithms.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful introduction, hands on, low theory/math, high practical usefullness
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2023

I am a huge fan of this book. There's seemingly a free version of it online but it's worth paying for for the sake of longevity and also just to support the authors, who did a really great job.

I'm a "self-taught" software engineer (in scare quotes because no one is really self taught), which means I have no formal training in data structures and algorithms. A lot of books and courses are math heavy, which makes sense in an academic context but isn't terribly practical. I don't need to do limits and integrals and things to understand and use tree algorithms, and this book doesn't ask me to.

It's just a step by step, very practical introduction to basic data structures and algorithms. Can't recommend it highly enough for someone trying to get into these topics, especially if you've been put off by theory and math-heavy courses or books in the past.

The authors did an amazing job writing this book. ive been an electrical engineer for a long time and finally decided to learn more about Comp Sci. The book is written so that you can read every page front to back. I cant epmphesis enough how important that is for keeping you engaged and learning the kraft. I highly reccomend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good textbook for learning algorithms and data structures
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2023

I work in software development for over 30 years. I have been picking up books to refresh my knowledges. I started coding in Python recently and pick up this book for both learning Python and refreshing algorithms. I found this book is very easy to learn and it can be used for the start of learning the algorithms and data structures. But this 2nd edition has been published over ten years ago. It needs to be updated. I found there is 3rd edition over the internet, it has more contexts and also bug fix in the samples. Hope they will have printed version in Amazon.

Data structures and algorithms should be one of your first stops when you reach a beginner understanding of a programming language. This is the book I wish I'd had several years ago when I started. I struggled with learning these concepts on my own, but this book knocks it out of the park. The authors take a very complex topic and start you simple and progressively introduce the complexities so that you are not overwhelmed. Don't get my wrong, the book will definitely challenge you, but it seems the authors really thought of a great way to introduce data structures and algorithms to a beginner. Well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Informative Book
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2018

I bought this book because I'm a Data Scientist that needs to be able to communicate fluently with software developers, even though I don't have a formal computer science background. This book did a really great job at not just going over the key data structures and algorithms I need to know, but also demonstrating how they are actually implemented in python with real code/ examples. I'm still working my way through all the practice problems, but I feel like I've already learned a lot by just by reading through it. This will probably be staying on my desk as a reference for years to come.

Not as pedagogical as Cormen, however very decent balance of real code(in python) to explain fundamental algorithms/ data structures. The topics chosen to illustrate algos also hard to find described better in other books.
Some sections like Knight's Tour with hieuristics,
Infix/Postfix and parse trees are wonderful.
Sections on splay trees, string processing, image processing are great read.

This is a really good book for introducing you into the problem solving nature of computer programming. This does use the syntax of Python but the ideas in the book are pretty universal.

I did not enjoy the book at all but i decided to not be picky. The i encountered a couple of code issues. But what makes buy another data structure and algorithm book was that the physical quality of the book. It is really hard to keep it open in order to make your hands free to code. Stupid paper material and book size

The book is great. Except there is one page that got folded on the inner part that makes it appear longer. But that’s no issue at all.
