Publisher's Synopsis
Introduction to AlgorithmsHow to think like a programmer - lessons in problem solvingby Gerald Lim MorrisonIn this book, we're going to take our first steps towards understanding the world of algorithms and data structures. Before we can study individual algorithms we're going to spend time learning how to evaluate algorithms, how to make comparisons and how to develop algorithmic thinkingAlgorithms are a fundamental topic in computer science, power many of the largest companies today and are used in making many decisions that affect our day to day lives - in obvious places like Google's PageRank algorithm to more obscure use cases like national security and local policing.What you'll learn - Structure of important algorithms. - How to use algorithms with appropriate data structures, to solve real life problems. - How algorithms and data structures can be used to design system at scale.
