Sinopsis

In computer science, an algorithm is an unambiguous specification of how to solve a class of problems. Algorithms can perform calculation, data processing and automated reasoning tasks.As an effective method, an algorithm can be expressed within a finite amount of space and time and in a well-defined formal language for calculating a function. Starting from an initial state and initial input (perhaps empty), the instructions describe a computation that, when executed, proceeds through a finite number of well-defined successive states, eventually producing output and terminating at a final ending state. The transition from one state to the next is not necessarily deterministic, some algorithms, known as randomized algorithms, incorporate random input.This book introduces a set of concepts in solving problems computationally such as Growth of Functions, Backtracking, Divide and Conquer, Greedy Algorithms, Dynamic Programming, Elementary Graph Algorithms, Minimal Spanning Tree, Single-Source Shortest Paths, All Pairs Shortest Paths, Flow Networks, Polynomial Multiplication, to ways of solving NP-Complete Problems, supported with comprehensive, and detailed problems and solutions, making it an ideal resource to those studying computer science, computer engineering and information technology.
