HistoryNote that the Preface starts with "This book is intended for an upper-division or graduate course..." and should be seen as such. In my School, we have more emphasis than average on algorithm analysis, so we are able to use this book at 3rd-year level (final year of our degree), but without a strong background, the book would fit a graduate course better. Some of the criticisms relate to use of pseudocode and inadequate diagrams...

This is my favorite undergraduate textbook on Algorithms. This very polished work is well organized and very well written. The code pieces are clean and elegant, and the exercises at the ends of the chapters are outstanding.The author is to be commended for producing such a fine work. Note that a new edition is supposed to come out sometime in the fall (of 1999).
