Henry Venn (1796 1873) was an Anglican clergyman who, like his
father and grandfather before him, was influential in the
evangelical movement and campaigned for social reform, eradication
of the slave trade, and better education and economic progress in
the British colonies so as to enable them to become responsible for
their own affairs. Venn was Secretary of the Church Missionary
Society from 1841 to 1873, and alongside practical training and
appointment of missionaries and ministers he spent time developing
a theology of mission and principles for its practice. This book,
published in its second edition in 1881, was edited by William
Knight who had access to Venn's private journals and correspondence
(from which he used substantial quotations), and met Venn's niece,
who provided the portrait of her uncle used as the frontispiece of
the book. The appendix contains some of Venn's own accounts of his
early missionary work.
This book introduces the essential concepts of algorithm analysis
required by core undergraduate and graduate computer science
courses, in addition to providing a review of the fundamental
mathematical notions necessary to understand these concepts.
Features: includes numerous fully-worked examples and step-by-step
proofs, assuming no strong mathematical background; describes the
foundation of the analysis of algorithms theory in terms of the
big-Oh, Omega, and Theta notations; examines recurrence relations;
discusses the concepts of basic operation, traditional loop
counting, and best case and worst case complexities; reviews
various algorithms of a probabilistic nature, and uses elements of
probability theory to compute the average complexity of algorithms
such as Quicksort; introduces a variety of classical finite graph
algorithms, together with an analysis of their complexity; provides
an appendix on probability theory, reviewing the major definitions
and theorems used in the book.
