Introduction to Algorithms, fourth edition

I recently started reading this book, and it has proven to be an invaluable resource for enhancing my understanding of algorithms. Positive: This book is exceptionally well-organized and covers a wide range of topics related to algorithms, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced programmers. The explanations are clear and detailed, accompanied by practical examples that help clarify complex concepts. The authors do a great job of breaking down algorithms into manageable parts, making it easier to grasp how they function and where they can be applied. The exercises at the end of each chapter are particularly beneficial for reinforcing the material and testing your understanding. The book strikes a good balance between theoretical insights and practical applications, providing a well-rounded perspective that is advantageous for anyone looking to enhance their programming skills. Additionally, its comprehensive nature makes it an excellent reference for future projects. Whether you're studying for exams or addressing real-world programming challenges, this book is a valuable addition to your library. Overall: "Introduction to Algorithms" is a highly recommended resource for anyone interested in computer science and programming. Its depth, clarity, and practical approach make it essential for mastering algorithms.

Hey, Will, you help me. I ordered the book and it is amazing but it is missing 4 pages. Page 34, 35, 38, and 39. I will be so grateful if you share these pages with me.😖

Anybody from CS background know about this book and nothing to describe about the content. However about book quality, publisher tried to keep the thickness of book quite reasonable (for about 1300 pages) but at the cost of very delicate and leafy papers. On turning pages, feels like I will rip the pages out. Publisher should have used bit heavy paper. Also binding is perfect-binding not hard-binding.

Good book

What I liked : Excellent and unmatched content. High quality printing. Looks and feels good. What I didn't like: First printing has too many errors. See errata. Voluminous - You need stamina to hold and read the book. Could be printed in 3 parts. Request: Kindle book should be provided free for those who buy physical book, just like manning publishers, as kindle version will always have the error corrected latest book which is alps easy to hold and search.

Loved to see the pages have a glossy finish and pictures are colored...

Best product

Book has excellent quality print and is great on content. Issue is with amazon delivery - this is the 4th time I’ve received a book in tore condition. Returned and got back again with some minor folds. Can u please be a bit careful with your book deliveries ?

Do not buy this is illegal product much smaller than it supposed to be less pages and lots of weird fonts and double print and bad pages. This is stolen from mit press and Amazon should be ashamed to sell this. I asked for a legitimate copy but Amazon refuses

I'm a middle-aged self-studying aspiring SWE, and had read that 'CLRS' aka 'Introduction to Algorithms' is essential reading. Despite it being a long time since I've tried seriously studying from any textbook, I find this book very accessible as a learner. The information is laid out clearly and coherently with excellent visual aids. The content, while obviously challenging, is thoroughly absorbable and engaging. I'm using this as an aid to some online algorithms courses, and the depth and quality of writing here really helps to accentuate (and occasionally outshine) even the top-tier e-learning content. The only difficulties experienced so far are in reading through and attempting to understand some of the more mathematical proofs - although that is laziness on my part, the appendices section looks like it will be very helpful in bringing a rusty mind back up to speed with mathematical lexicon. The only minor criticism is merely a conflict with the authors' collection assertion to avoid providing solutions - seemingly on the basis that students might be find the compulsion to look up sample answers to the problems an irresistible temptation! Perhaps the lazy or poorly motivated would do so - and would certainly end up rewarded with the diminishing benefits and future struggle that that specific attitude would deserve. However, those learners who are prepared to put in the mileage of a good 30 minute attempt at a tougher problem should be able to verify if their own work is correct - and get an idea of where they might be going wrong. Personally, not having the luxury or privilege to access a lecturer, instructor, or mentor (and with the sending of solutions not being encouraged), it is sometimes frustrating - although there are obviously large numbers GitHub accounts which are starting to farm out 'tentative solutions' for every problem in the book. It is difficult and frustrating to try and elucidate what solutions are worthwhile in looking at when struggling - and it would be more convenient to compare my own attempts with answers from a credible source. Anyway, apart from that minor (extended) quibble, I would encourage anyone who is learning about algorithms to make purchasing and working through this book their number one priority!

Livro denso e abstrato. Não recomendável para um primeiro contato de estudantes de programação, algoritmos ou estruturas de dados. Recomendado somente para aqueles com uma base matemática envolvendo Cálculo 1, Matemática Discreta e um primeiro curso de Algoritmos e Estruturas de Dados. Para um primeiro contato, recomendo os livros de Sedgewick (Algorithms) e/ou Jay Wengrow (Common-Sense Guide ...).

Une référence en la matière mais il est bon de savoir que les maths vous seront utiles pour en tirer pleinement partie

Genuine copy. Pricey but good and useful book.
