{"product_id":"algorithms-9780073523408","title":"Algorithms","description":"This text, extensively class-tested over a decade at UC Berkeley and UC San Diego, explains the fundamentals of algorithms in a story line that makes the material enjoyable and easy to digest. Emphasis is placed on understanding the crisp mathematical idea behind each algorithm, in a manner that is intuitive and rigorous without being unduly formal.\u003cp\u003eFeatures include: The use of boxes to strengthen the narrative: pieces that provide historical context, descriptions of how the algorithms are used in practice, and excursions for the mathematically sophisticated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully chosen advanced topics that can be skipped in a standard one-semester course, but can be covered in an advanced algorithms course or in a more leisurely two-semester sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn accessible treatment of linear programming introduces students to one of the greatest achievements in algorithms. An optional chapter on the quantum algorithm for factoring provides a unique peephole into this exciting topic. In addition to the text, DasGupta also offers a Solutions Manual, which is available on the Online Learning Center.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eAlgorithms\u003c\/i\u003e is an outstanding undergraduate text, equally informed by the historical roots and contemporary applications of its subject. Like a captivating novel, it is a joy to read.\" Tim Roughgarden Stanford University\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McGraw-Hill Companies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50727759020306,"sku":"9780073523408","price":62.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_e948b54e-87ba-4e33-a05f-ca286f52507a.jpg?v=1734921366","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/algorithms-9780073523408","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
