This text, extensively class-tested over a decade at UC Berkeley
and UC San Diego, explains the fundamentals of algorithms in a
story line that makes the material enjoyable and easy to digest.
Emphasis is placed on understanding the crisp mathematical idea
behind each algorithm, in a manner that is intuitive and rigorous
without being unduly formal..
. Features include: . The use of boxes to strengthen the
narrative: pieces that provide historical context, descriptions of
how the algorithms are used in practice, and excursions for the
mathematically sophisticated..
. Carefully chosen advanced topics that can be skipped in a
standard one-semester course, but can be covered in an advanced
algorithms course or in a more leisurely two-semester
sequence..
. An accessible treatment of linear programming introduces
students to one of the greatest achievements in algorithms. An
optional chapter on the quantum algorithm for factoring provides a
unique peephole into this exciting topic. In addition to the text,
DasGupta also offers a Solutions Manual, which is available on the
Online Learning Center..
. ""Algorithms" is an outstanding undergraduate text, equally
informed by the historical roots and contemporary applications of
its subject. Like a captivating novel, it is a joy to read." Tim
Roughgarden Stanford University. .
