Essential algorithms : a practical approach to computer algorithms using Python and C#
The revised and updated second edition of 'Essential Algorithms' offers an accessible introduction to computer algorithms. The book contains a description of important classical algorithms and explains when each is appropriate. The author shows how to analyse algorithms in order to understand their behaviour and teaches techniques that the can be used to create new algorithms to meet future needs. The text includes useful algorithms such as: methods for manipulating common data structures, advanced data structures, network algorithms, and numerical algorithms. It also offers a variety of general problem-solving techniques. In addition to describing algorithms and approaches, the author offers details on how to analyse the performance of algorithms.
