Algorithms

Essential Information that Every Serious Programming Student Needs to Know about Algorithms and Data Structures   A Classic Reference The latest version of Sedgewick’s best-selling series, reflecting an indispensable body of knowledge developed over the past several decades.   Broad Coverage Full treatment of data structures and algorithms for sorting, searching, graph processing, string processing, and geometric applications, including fifty algorithms every programmer should know. See www.cs.princeton.edu/algs4/top50.   Completely Revised Code New Java implementations written in an accessible, modular programming style, where all of the code is exposed to the reader and ready to use. New versions of quicksort, LZW compression, red-black tree search, RE pattern matching, and many other algorithms.   Engages with Applications Algorithms are studied in the context of important scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. Clients and algorithms are expressed in real code, not the pseudo-code found in many other books.   Intellectually Stimulating Engages reader interest with clear, concise text, detailed examples with visuals, carefully crafted code, historical and scientific context, and exercises at all levels.   A Scientific Approach Develops precise statements about performance, supported by appropriate mathematical models and empirical studies validating those models.   Integrated with the Web Visit www.cs.princeton.edu/algs4 for a freely accessible, comprehensive Web site, including text digests, program code, test data, programming projects, exercises, lecture slides, and other resources.
