Introduction to the design & analysis of algorithms Upplaga 1

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.
