- About
Algorithms are the foundational language of computing, driving everything from efficient search engines to complex machine learning. Acquiring them is essential for any developer or computer scientist seeking to build high-performance, scalable software.
The book explores the fundamental data structures like arrays, stacks, queues, linked lists, hashing, and various trees, as well as binomial and Fibonacci heaps. With this foundation, you will explore a wide range of sorting and searching algorithms, from simple methods to more advanced techniques like radix sort and exponential search. You will gain a deep understanding of general methods and applications of divide and conquer, greedy algorithms, dynamic programming, backtracking, and branch and bound, each explained with classic examples.
By the end of this book, you will possess the knowledge and skills needed to tackle challenges head-on, whether in academia or the ever-evolving landscape of technology. You will be prepared for the challenges of building robust software in any professional setting.
