Description

This is an introductory-level algorithm text. It includes worked-out examples and detailed proofs. Presents Algorithms by type rather than application.* structures material by techniques employed, not by the application area, so students can progress from the underlying abstract concepts to the concrete application essentials. * begins with a compact, but complete introduction to some necessary math, and also includes a long introduction to proofs by contradiction and mathematical induction. This serves to fill the gaps that many undergraduates have in their mathematical knowledge. * gives a paced, thorough introduction to the analysis of algorithms, and uses coherent notation and unusually detailed treatment of solving recurrences. * includes a chapter on probabilistic algorithms, and an introduction to parallel algorithms, both of which are becoming increasingly important. * approaches the analysis and design of algorithms by type rather than by application.

Description

This is an introductory-level algorithm text which includes worked examples and detailed proofs, presenting algorithms by type rather than proof. The book begins with a compact, but complete introduction to some necessary maths, and also includes a long introduction to proofs by contradiction and mathematical induction to fill the gaps that many undergraduates have in their knowledge. It then goes on to provide a thorough introduction to the analysis of algorithms, and uses coherent notation and solving recurrences. It also includes a chapter on probabilistic algorithms, and an introduction to parallel algorithms. This work is intended for use on undergraduate courses in Algorithms or Design and Analysis of Algorithms.
