Algorithms Unlocked

 

For anyone who has ever wondered how computers solve problems, an engagingly written guide for nonexperts to the basics of computer algorithms.

I have looked for a good book about algorithms to enjoy and was not a boring textbook. This book “scratched the itch” with the added bonus that it was written by one of the authors of the infamous CLRS algorithms textbook used nearly everywhere in advanced data structures and algorithms in the United States. Indeed, I recall well a good semester solving problem sets and programming using the CLRS text as my guide. This followup to the textbook is easy reading for a computer scientist and it can provide a good thorough review of what you learned as an undergraduate. Pick this book up and enjoy a good read while you use your years of experience to see what new and innovative ideas you can come up with. How can you use the algorithms and ideas in this book to improve your current projects?
