The Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms introduces the basic data structures and programming techniques often used in efficient algorithms. It covers the use of lists, push-down stacks, queues, trees and graphs. With this text, you gain an understanding of the fundamental concepts of algorithms, the very heart of computer science. It introduces the basic data structures and programming techniques often used in efficient algorithms. Covers use of lists, push-down stacks, queues, trees and graphs. Later chapters go into sorting, searching and graphing algorithms, the string-matching algorithms and the Schonhage-Strassen integer-multiplication algorithm. Provides numerous graded exercises at the end of each chapter.
