Filling the void left by other algorithms books, "Algorithms and Data Structures" provides an approach that emphasizes design techniques. The volume includes application of algorithms, examples, end-of-section exercises, end-of-chapter exercises, hints and solutions to selected exercises, figures and notes to help the reader master the design and analysis of algorithms. This volume covers data structures, searching techniques, divided-and-conquer sorting and selection, greedy algorithms, dynamic programming, text searching, computational algebra, P and NP and parallel algorithms. For those interested in a better understanding of algorithms.
