I read 1st part of the book (as a beginner who knew almost (not totally) about algorithms). Here is what I felt

* Great description of algorithms and analysis.

* You will love the pseudo code

* Good math skills are needed. Certain algorithms are just thrown at readers as exercises - Don't skip them

* For self learners: Should take a year to complete (approx, might take more). You got to be patient to cover all areas - especially exercises.

* As a text book? : Yeah! Follow your class le...

This book is literally the Bible of algorithms. Anyone wishing to call themselves a computer programmer needs to have at least a basic amount of knowledge about the creation, evaluation and implementation of algorithms, and this book more than provides that. It is used in universities all around the world. Although most of its matter may be outside the syllabus of Indian colleges, it is extremely useful while dealing with hard Computer Science subjects like Analysis & Design of Algorithms, Da...

I would not mention any thing about the product coz everyone knows this is a world famous publication and is taught worldwide. Only suggestion to user is to read this book in parallel with the video lectures on MIT website ( these are free lectures) This is gonna be a deadly combination :) this book will be a lot easier to learn with those video lecture .

Thanks to flipkart for the timely delivery :)

I ordered this book on 12th Aug 18 & received it on 16th Aug. Delivery was super fast. Book is very useful. Lot of people have complained about quality of paper/printing so i was worried about it. However, the book i have received is brand new. Quality of the book is very good. It has hologram and other details. Seller was 'The Secret Garden Bookstore' from Delhi. I purchased this book for Rs. 700/- which is very less given the fact that original cost is Rs. 1695/-. Book is for anyone who w...

this book is amazing specially for computer science grads who wants to level UP their knowledge and skills in programming and other stuff, but then...nothing great comes easy. you will often find yourself struggling in understanding even the basic concepts, forget about concepts, even some terms are not described properly (the book is written by MIT lecturers for post grads so.. you know what i mean right?)
All in all buy this book only if you-
1) have a great teacher at your college who can ...

This is a great book for algorithms. I count on this book for all my algorithm requirements. I was just wondering, if this book is an introduction then what the complete algorithm book would be. :D

The exercises given in the book are quite important for some algorithms are covered through exercises. The pseudo-code used in the book is very easy to understand. Even if one is new to programming one can understand the code (the pseudo-code is not language specific), but prior programming experi...

So much has already been written in praise of this book that I really don't have any new words to appreciate!!

This is wonderful book and really deserve five star rating. But this is not the end. Really.
After you are done with this book you are ready to explore other amazing texts in this field. Some of the recommended ones are:
1. Algorithms (4th ed) by Robert Sedgewick
2. And now my favourite: The Art of Computer Programming (Donald E. Knuth). All volumes are exceptional but first volume ...

This is an excellent book for CS/IT engineering students seeking to have very strong base in Algorithm analysis and design . However, you must also pay equal attention to practical aspect as mere learning and analyzing on paper won't help in the longer run. So, either learn C++ or Java first. I would recommend learning C++ as one can learn coding in C++ in short time.
Therefore also buy The C Programming Language (Ansi C Version)

This is a complete book (for undergraduate level), like a bible for algorithms. With page number running into four digits, it's a very detailed and descriptive book, which makes it an excellent learning resource for beginners.

A good grip of mathematics will be of great help. However, most of what is required is put into the Appendix, so you won't have to go hunting for a piece of maths.

This is a great book, which is further solidified by the fact that it is used as a textbook for MIT (Mas...

I find this book very useful for studying algorithms. Language is good and easy to read. Concepts are very well explained. Only one problem i can think of is that the material is advanced. If you are just a beginner, you may not find it useful for the basic data structures (arrays, linked lists etc.). All in all, i think this book is a must have for everyone who is studying algorithms.
