He has held visiting research positions at Xerox PARC, Institute for Defense Analyses, and INRIA, and is member of the board of directors of Adobe Systems. Professor Sedgewick's research interests include analytic combinatorics, design and analysis of data structures and algorithms, and program visualization. His landmark book, \u003ci\u003eAlgorithms, \u003c\/i\u003e now in its fourth edition, has appeared in numerous versions and languages over the past thirty years. In addition, with Kevin Wayne, he is the coauthor of the highly acclaimed textbook, \u003ci\u003eIntroduction to Programming in Java: An Interdisciplinary Approach \u003c\/i\u003e(Addison-Wesley, 2008).  \u003cb\u003eKevin Wayne \u003c\/b\u003eis the Phillip Y. Goldman Senior Lecturer in Computer Science at Princeton University, where he has been teaching since 1998. He received a Ph.D. in operations research and industrial engineering from Cornell University. His research interests include the design, analysis, and implementation of algorithms, especially for graphs and discrete optimization. With Robert Sedgewick, he is the coauthor of the highly acclaimed textbook, \u003ci\u003eIntroduction to Programming in Java: An Interdisciplinary Approach\u003c\/i\u003e (Addison-Wesley, 2008).\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Addison-Wesley Professional","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50674800001298,"sku":"9780321573513","price":87.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_666e8ae3-fcc8-4f73-8b45-91da297531ad.jpg?v=1733865736","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/algorithms-9780321573513","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
