Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was the instructor for a junior/senior course on Algorithms at the University of Southern California and I used this book as the textbook. Unfortunately, many of the students didn't like this book because they did not appreciate the mathematical flavor of the book. A course on Algorithms is useless without a sound background in discrete mathematics. Hence, this book assumes that you are reasonably strong in Discrete Mathematics.
I haven't seen a better textbook ! Here are some reasons:
1. The discrete mathematics foundations are present in the first few chapters of this book and so, you can quickly brush up on any discrete math background that you may require while using this book.
2. The style of writing is very light and at the same time, rigorous - almost as if you are in the middle of a lecture while reading the book.
3. The material is comprehensive and serves as an excellent reference for other courses and in your future career.
4. The exercises and problems provide a very good learning experience.
5. It's a good-looking book !
