Algorithms: A Beginner's Course

This book is written by a recognized authority in the field of computer algorithms — Professor of Computer Science Thomas Cormen. Cormen has written a book intended for anyone interested in issues related to computer algorithms, but basic education and simply a lack of time prevent one from tackling serious work. Despite its simplicity and ease of presentation, this book is characterized by accuracy, a wide range of covered topics, and depth of exposition. The primary intended reader of this book — a young person contemplating whether to engage in this area of human activity or not. But in any case, knowledge is never superfluous, so even if you ultimately realize that algorithms are not your calling, your time will not be wasted, as algorithms surround us everywhere, and computer algorithms are just a variety of them.
