Computer Algorithms: Introduction to Design and Analysis (Addison-Wesley Series in Computer Science)
Drawing upon combined decades of teaching experience, Professors Sara Baase and Allen Van Gelder have extensively revised this best seller on algorithm design and analysis to make it the most current and accessible book available. This edition features an increased emphasis on algorithm design techniques such as divide-and-conquer and greedy algorithms, along with the addition of new topics and exercises. It continues the tradition of solid mathematical analysis and clear writing style that made it so popular in previous editions.

Customer Review: poorly executed text

This textbook is a mess. It is not elegant or clear, and their coverage of certain topics is confusing and deviates from standard practice. If your algorithms class is using this text, find some friends to pool together and get a copy for the exercises if they are used, otherwise take the book from MIT by Rivest et al out of the library and read that.

Customer Review: Worst book I ever read

I would have rated "0 stars " if poosible in the selection.

Since this is the textbook for my course I have to deal with this book. The way things are mentioned in this book I doubt whether the authors have even understood the concepts right. I think that the authors themselves are confused while writing this book.

If this book is for your course, drop the course before it is too late.
