Problems on Algorithms

By Dmitri Korotkevitch

With approximately 600 problems and 35 worked examples, this supplement provides a collection of practical problems on the design, analysis and verification of algorithms. The book focuses on the important areas of algorithm design and analysis: background material; algorithm design techniques; advanced data structures and NP-completeness; and miscellaneous problems. Algorithms are expressed in Pascal-like pseudocode supported by figures, diagrams, hints, solutions, and comments. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Great supplemental text for the study of algorithms

This little book is a treasured member of my computer science book collection. It makes a great companion to "Introduction to Algorithms" by Thomas Cormen et al, and it is also a great refresher for students studying for the algorithms section of a computer science Ph.D qualifying examination. The book starts with an introductory chapter which is followed by five chapters of background material on subjects that you should...

A little gem of fundamental computer science

This is a terrific little book, which I recommend highly to students of computer science, but above all to those who teach computer science. While I could imagine teaching a short course based on this book alone, it would be an excellent supplement to a more thorough-going text. Better still, just keep this little book around for those times when you are searching for a good homework or exam problem. It's got hundreds of...

Lots of fun

This book is full of interesting problems on algorithms. I have solved several of the problems in this book and it was great fun. Just thinking about solving so of these problems is interesting. I spent several hours solving the problem that is on the cover, it required the use Concrete Mathematics (0201558025), so be prepared many if not most of the problems in this book are very hard.

Great reference book!

It's a great book to use as reference or as a first reading but don't expect to get too deep into any of the main topics.
