The Algorithm Design Manual

Expanding on the highly successful formula of the first edition, this book now serves as the primary textbook of choice for any algorithm design course while maintaining its status as the premier practical reference guide to algorithms.

Unique, handy reference package with a practical, hands-on appeal to a wide audience This classic bestseller has been fully updated, and enhanced with new and expanded material on hashing and randomized algorithms, divide and conquer algorithms, and dealing with hard problems (including quantum algorithms) Contains a highly unique catalog of the 75 most important algorithmic problems Additional useful information such as lecture slides and updates available via author's website
