5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Computer Science Text, 30 May 2006
By C. St John (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Algorithms (Hardcover)
This book was on the reading list for my degree course back in 1989. We were told it was probably going to become a classic reference text: it has.
This edition has examples in Pascal. Later editions use C or C++. I was told that if I can't translate from Pascal to C in my head then I'm in the wrong job... 16 years later this is the only degree course book that still belongs on my desk.
Priority Queues, Quicksort, FFT and Pseudo-Random number generators get a chapter each. The diagrams are excellent and help you to visualise exactly what is going on whilst the algorithms are running. The final chapter is the weakest in my opinion - a discussion about NP completeness which doesn't belong in a book like this one.
This book doesn't miss out much but I still find myself reaching for Knuth for memory management algorithms, which is a shame.
