The Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is yet another classic from the Aho Gang!
It sets up a very formal framework for discussing alorithms, beginning at the beginning..an abstract mathematical model of a computer. and builds up the rest of the book using the model for implementation as well as quantification.
A solid framework for the analysis of algorithms is setup. The necessary mathematics is covered, helping in measuring an algorithm's complexity..basically the time and space complexities.
Then it goes on to deal with designing algorithms. the design methodology, with elaborate examples and exercises.
It should be admitted however that this is a solid text for the mathematically oriented. Thats the reason for the 5 stars!
If you want to go a little easy on the formalisms try
"Computer Algorithms, Pseudocode" by Ellis Horowitz, Sartaj Sahni, Sanguthevar Rajasekaran. I found it more pragmatic.
