Publisher's Synopsis
This book combines clear text explanations, essential math, informative infographics, and complete Python examples to give beginners a well-rounded understanding of algorithms and data structures.
Essential Algorithms for Beginners is a clear and structured guide to the foundational concepts every new programmer or computer science student must understand. Covering a wide range of core topics-from sorting and searching to trees, graphs, recursion, and dynamic programming-this book is designed for those who want a complete, accessible introduction to the fundamentals of algorithm design and analysis.
Each chapter focuses on a specific category of algorithms or data structures, breaking them down with plain-language explanations, simple math, and carefully chosen examples. An appendix of Python code implementations provides a practical reference for those who want to see how the concepts translate into working code.
