Synopsis
This text introduces the reader to the design and analysis of algorithms. It teaches broad problem-solving skills alongside an introduction to algorithms. The author achieves this by using three unique features: a table of contents that is based on a more effective taxonomy of algorithm design techniques; a style of presentation that emphasizes understanding over excessively formal treatment; and extensive use of puzzles and exercises that motivate the presentation of the material., Based on a new classification of algorithm design techniques and a clear delineation of analysis methods, Introduction to the Design and Analysis of Algorithms presents the subject in a truly innovative manner. Written in a student-friendly style, the book encourages broad problem-solving skills while thoroughly covering the material required in an introductory algorithms course. The author emphasizes conceptual understanding before the introduction of the formal treatment of each technique. Popular puzzles are used to motivate students' interest and strengthen their skills in algorithmic problem solving. Other learning-enhancement features include chapter summaries, hints to the exercises, and a solution manual.
