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.
