Algorithms by Sanjoy Dasgupta (English) Paperback Book

Description: Algorithms by Sanjoy Dasgupta, Christos Papadimitriou, Umesh Vazirani Explaining the fundamentals of algorithms, this text emphasizes on understanding the mathematical idea behind each algorithm. It includes features such as: the use of boxes to strengthen the narrative: pieces that give historical context, descriptions of how the algorithms are used in practice, and excursions for the mathematically sophisticated. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This text, extensively class-tested over a decade at UC Berkeley and UC San Diego, explains the fundamentals of algorithms in a story line that makes the material enjoyable and easy to digest. Emphasis is placed on understanding the crisp mathematical idea behind each algorithm, in a manner that is intuitive and rigorous without being unduly formal.Features include:The use of boxes to strengthen the narrative: pieces that provide historical context, descriptions of how the algorithms are used in practice, and excursions for the mathematically sophisticated.Carefully chosen advanced topics that can be skipped in a standard one-semester course, but can be covered in an advanced algorithms course or in a more leisurely two-semester sequence.An accessible treatment of linear programming introduces students to one of the greatest achievements in algorithms. An optional chapter on the quantum algorithm for factoring provides a unique peephole into this exciting topic. In addition to the text, DasGupta also offers a Solutions Manual, which is available on the Online Learning Center."Algorithms is an outstanding undergraduate text, equally informed by the historical roots and contemporary applications of its subject. Like a captivating novel, it is a joy to read."
