About this Item

Neuware - Algorithms are the heart and soul of computer science. Their applications range from network routing and computational genomics to public-key cryptography and machine learning. Studying algorithms can make you a better programmer, a clearer thinker, and a master of technical interviews. Algorithms Illuminated is an accessible introduction to the subject for anyone with at least a little programming experience. The exposition emphasizes the big picture and conceptual understanding over low-level implementation and mathematical details---like a transcript of what an expert algorithms tutor would say over a series of one-on-one lessons. Part 2 covers graph search and applications, shortest paths, and the usage and implementation of several data structures (heaps, search trees, hash tables, and bloom filters).

About this title

Synopsis

Accessible, no-nonsense, and programming language-agnostic introduction to algorithms. Includes solutions to all quizzes and selected problems, and a series of YouTube videos by the author accompanies the book. Part 2 covers graph search and its applications, shortest-path algorithms, and the applications and implementation of several data structures: heaps, search trees, hash tables, and bloom filters. (Part 1 is not a prerequisite.)
