extensive bibiliography, and the CD-ROM make the book an invaluable resource for everyone
interested in the subject." Book
Description
This material has been developed over a period of several years in an
upper-division course taught to computer science students at SUNY, Stony Brook, by Steve
Skiena. A major goal of the author has been to take some of the "mystery" out of
identifying and dealing with algorithms which these students will later use in the
workplace, drawing heavily on the author's own real-world experiences, the book stressing
design and analysis. Thus the work takes on a very practical character, as reflected in...
