Reader Reviews:
Poorly written (0/2 people found this helpful)
Covers lots of subjects, but is badly explained/written. It reads like a mathematical school textbook from the 1950s, not untangling the problems into humanly understandable prose.
Not even for 3rd yr Comp Sci Majors (2/10 people found this helpful)
I looked through this book to compare it to others I had seen and it is very hard to understand, even for me (a 3rd yr comp sci major who already understands this topic)
This is fundamental stuff for efficient programming. (9/10 people found this helpful)
This book starts with an introduction on the concepts of algorithm runtime and memory space usage complexities. After this, the reader will discover, chapter by chapter, what the essence is of particular data structures, starting with stacks, queues, ... graphs, .. etc. Each of these abstract data types is mentioned with different implementations, pseudocode and/or java code. Besides the ADT's, some interesting patterns are discussed, also fundamental algorithm methods are explained in depth,s.a. divide-and-conquer, dynamic programming ... This book contains a lot of related topics, eg. computational geometry, sorting, ... Although, mathematical approaches are often used for analysing algorithms and structures, the book is still very readable. Code examples can be downloaded from the book's website.
