Description

This study presents the methods and tools required to determine the effectiveness of algorithms in a practical setting. It is a mathematical book emphasizing analytical techniques and computational tools. Proofs are given to the extent that they use and illustrate the methods discussed in the book. The book is designed for the dual use of a textbook in a variety of graduate courses and seminars, and as a reference for the algorithm designer and the scientist specializing in the mathematical tools of analysis of algorithms.
