This book is intended to survey the most important computer algorithms in use
today and to teach fundamental techniques to the growing number of people in need
of knowing them. It can be used as a textbook for a second, third, or fourth course
in computer science, after students have acquired some programming skills and
familiarity with computer systems, but before they have taken specialized courses
in advanced areas of computer science or computer applications. Additionally,
the book may be useful for self-study or as a reference for those engaged in the
development of computer systems or applications programs, since it contains a
number of implementations of useful algorithms and detailed information on their
performance characteristics. The broad perspective taken in the book makes it an
appropriate introduction to the field.
