Introduction to Algorithms, Second Edition
: Simply great! A must buy for professionals and college students.
The book is, as long as I know, the standard for introductive algorithms courses. And one can easily understand why, since it is complete and authoritative. An encyclopedic good work that deserves respect and a good reviews. I'd gladly give a five stars rate, but it seems that this book must chronically suffer the annoying disease of bugs and printing errors. It was so in the first edition and it seems it is going exactly the same way in this second edition. Just go to the MIT Press web site and check the impressive (since we are just at the sixth month of life ...) bug reports list.
This is complete and very thorough book about algorithms (sorting, balanced trees, and much more) and programming techniques such as dynamic programming. Don't be misleaded by the word "introduction" in the title. The book goes much far than an introduction. I must say although, that some topics could be explained in simpler ways. This is especially true for the topic of NP-complete problems. Despite this, it is very good and highly recommended book
An Introduction to Algorithms is an excellent book. It's easy to understand and very comprehensive. Highly recommended.
This is an excellent book on algorithms that runs very deep and wide. I would say "introduction" could be a bit misleading. The more mathematically inclined you are the more appropriate and enjoyable this book will be for you. It is at the advanced undergraduate to graduate level
