A friendly introduction to the most useful algorithms written in simple, intuitive English. The revised and updated second edition of Essential Algorithms offers an accessible introduction to computer algorithms. The book contains a description of important classical algorithms and explains when each is appropriate. It teaches techniques that can be used to create new algorithms to meet future needs.
The text includes useful algorithms such as: methods for manipulating common data structures, advanced data structures, network algorithms, and numerical algorithms. It also offers a variety of general problem-solving techniques.
In addition to describing algorithms and approaches, the author offers details on how to analyze the performance of algorithms. The book is filled with exercises that can be used to explore ways to modify the algorithms in order to apply them to new situations.
This updated edition of Essential Algorithms contains explanations of algorithms in simple terms, rather than complicated math.
