DESCRIPTION:
He is the coauthor (with Charles E. . Rivest, and Clifford Stein) of the leading textbook on computer algorithms, Introduction to Algorithms (third edition, MIT Press, 2009). Thomas H. Cormen is Professor of Computer Science and former Director of the Institute for Writing and Rhetoric at Dartmouth College. Leiserson, Ronald L
For non-practitioners, it truly unlocks the world of algorithms at the heart of the tools we use every day. The enterprising reader with some exposure to elementary computer programming will discover insights into the key algorithmic techniques that underlie efficient computation. This is an important contribution and there is nobody more qualified than Thomas Cormen to bridge the knowledge gap between algorithms experts and the general public. This is a unique book in its attempt to open the field of algorithms to a wider audience. (Phil Klein, Professor, Department of Computer Science, Brown University)Thomas Cormen helps readers to achieve a broad understanding of the key algorithms underlying much of computer science. Algorithms are at the center of computer science. For computer science students and practitioners, it is a great review of key algorithms that every computer sc
And how do these mathematical formulations translate themselves into your GPS, your laptop, or your smart phone? This book offers an engagingly written guide to the basics of computer algorithms. They will discover simple ways to search for information in a computer; methods for rearranging information in a computer into a prescribed order ("sorting"); how to solve basic problems that can be modeled in a computer with a mathematical structure called a "graph" (useful for modeling road networks, dependencies among tasks, and financial relationships); how to solve problems that ask questions about strings of characters such as DNA structures; the basic principles behind cryptography; fundamentals of data compression; and even that there are some problems that no one has figured out how to so
An excellent introduction to algorithms Michael Vanier This is an interesting book. It's halfway between the typical science-book-for-non-scientists and a textbook. Unlike most science books for non-scientists, the author doesn't dumb down the material for the reader; he assumes you're intelligent and are willing to work a bit to understand what he says (including following mathematical arguments with actual equations). In fact, I only bought the book because the author was Cormen; I was familiar with his algorithms textbook (Introduction to Algorithms, better known as CLRS after the initials of t. I would be interested in algorithms more if I read I would be interested in algorithms more if I read this book first, not CLRS. The book's approach is easier to understand for beginner. It covers almost basic algorithms, helps you understand concepts and application. Then if you wan to go further, you can go with CLRS. After reading this book, the CLRS is easier to read.But if you only want to know about algorithms, and don't to go deeper, this book is enough for you.. Amazing book, one of the best! Pooshan one of the best book.Amazing and will help in,- Algorithms- Data structure,- Interviews- data science
