Description

A comprehensive update of the leading algorithms text, with new material on matchings in bipartite graphs, online algorithms, machine learning, and other topics.

Some books on algorithms are rigorous but incomplete; others cover masses of material but lack rigor. 
Introduction to Algorithms uniquely combines rigor and comprehensiveness. It covers a broad range of algorithms in depth, yet makes their design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers, with self-contained chapters and algorithms in pseudocode. Since the publication of the first edition, Introduction to Algorithms has become the leading algorithms text in universities worldwide as well as the standard reference for professionals. This fourth edition has been updated throughout.

New for the fourth edition

  • New chapters on matchings in bipartite graphs, online algorithms, and machine learning
  • New material on topics including solving recurrence equations, hash tables, potential functions, and suffix arrays
  • 140 new exercises and 22 new problems
  • Reader feedback–informed improvements to old problems
  • Clearer, more personal, and gender-neutral writing style
  • Color added to improve visual presentation
  • Notes, bibliography, and index updated to reflect developments in the field
  • Website with new supplementary material

Solid book for learning algorithms, not for beginners.

Pretty solid book, you should have some foundation in discrete math, calculus, and data structures. Python is the choice of language in the book however you should be able to translate that to whatever language you are learning at the moment. If you are completely new to computer science I suggest learning the basics before jumping to this.

Best algorithm book by far, but need experience with discrete mathematics and set notation.

Love the new edition, it’s got a lot of things taken out from last edition, but a lot of new material as well. The best part, it’s in color and has beautiful print.

Good quality

This is what I was explaining. Nice.

The best book in the field of Algorithms

The bible for learning algorithms. Highly recommended for anyone who is serious in learning algorithms. Concepts are clearly explained with proofs. Exercises and chapter end problems were really interesting and challenging, guiding students to think algorithmically. This is the best book in the field. Authors also reachable and helpful as and when needed. Some of the mathematical contents used in the proofs are clearly explained in the Appendix section.Just writing some code to solve the problem is not sufficient at all. We should be able to solve the problem optimally, thinking out of the box while challenging the orthodox thinking and proving the correctness and analyzing the running time of the solution mathematically. This book covers all of them in one go.However, there's a public controversy claiming that this edition is not significantly different from the previous one. In fact, the differences from the previous edition are clearly stated at the beginning of the book. As of my observation thus far, it is significantly different from the previous edition. They have introduced many new exercises and chapter end problems while removing just a few of them. The contents in elementary graph algorithms are slightly different as they are phrased differently from the previous one. Greedy algorithms chapter has significant changes. Apart from that, you have colored illusrtations in this edition. So, after all, there's a significant difference from the previous edition as of my observation.The only downside I see is in the binding which is not that good in the fourth edition compared to the previous third edition. Nevertheless, It's well worth the payoff ! Go ahead and read it without any hesitations !
