This book is excellent if it is used by it's "intended" audience for it's original purpose. Its intended audience seems to be people with a strong math background who want to understand algorithms enough to develop their own or read through all that technical literature on new algorithms. This book could give someone the foundation necessary to do that, and that's why it's excellent. On the other side of the coin, if you are looking for a practical, how-to type book, this isn't it. I recommend Algorithms for C++ or one of Sedgeweck's works. There is also some basic search and sort stuff on GameDev.net and Gamasutra.com, built for game developers, but having info useful for all. So, remember what i didn't know when i bought it: this is a GREAT math book, and a HORRIBLE practical programming aid.Read full review
Great value for a great programming book.

Tell the community about your experience using the Introduction to Algorithms by Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson and Ronald L. Rivest (2001, Hardcover). I need this book. That is a very good book. And I will send this book to my younger classmatter.
