Reader Reviews
In my line of work I am, many times, in need of some algorithm or resource to do some job. Sure I learned many during my B.Sc. studies, and during my work, but some are hard to remember, and some I never knew - and sometimes you just need to know how to call the problem in order to locate resources about it from the internet. Well - this book solves it all! One part contains "war stories", which I found very useful, and amusing - After reading them I felt like I learned many lessons. The second part, which is the reason I bought this book at the first place, is a very impressive catalog of algorithms and problems - you just need to know something about the problem you need to solve, and most probably, your problem will be described here with clear definitions, and some suggested algorithms for solutions and with resources from other books/articles and web resources. I tell you - so many times this book was the first and only stop in my persue of finding the algorithm I needed. I'd recommend this book to anyone studying and working with algorithms. This is a must in your bookshelf - even more - it's a must on your table! Comment | | (Report this)
