Algorithms, Fourth Edition: Book and 24-Part Lecture Series

Description

**Included in this Bundle** THE PRINT BOOK: This fourth edition of Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne’s Algorithms is one of the most popular textbooks on algorithms today and is widely used in colleges and universities worldwide. The algorithms in this book — including 50 algorithms every programmer should know — represent a body of knowledge developed over the last 50 years that has become indispensable, not just for professional programmers and computer science students but for any student with interests in science, mathematics, and engineering and for students who use computation in the liberal arts. In this edition, new Java implementations are written in an accessible modular programming style, where all of the code is exposed to the reader and ready to use. THE LECTURE SERIES: There are 24 lecture videos that will be streamed on the Informit.com site; each lecture is approximately 60 to 75 minutes in length and focuses on a specific topic related to the Algorithms book. The lecture videos introduce viewers to fundamental data types, algorithms, and data structures, with emphasis on applications and scientific performance analysis of Java implementations. They also cover graph-processing algorithms, including minimum spanning tree and shortest paths algorithms, and string processing algorithms, including string sorts, tries, substring search, regular expressions, and data compression, and concludes with an overview placing the contents of the course in a larger context. The first 12 lecture videos cover elementary data structures, sorting, and searching. Topics covered in these videos include union-find, binary search, stacks, queues, bags, insertion sort, selection sort, shellsort, quicksort, 3-way quicksort, mergesort, heapsort, binary heaps, binary search trees, red-black trees, separate chaining and linear probing hash tables, Graham scan, and id-trees. Lecture videos 13 through 24 focus on graph and string-processing algorithms. Topics covered in these lecture videos include depth-first search, breadth-first search, topological sort, Kosaraju-Sharir, Kruskal, Prim, Dijkistra, Bellman-Ford, Ford-Fulkerson, LSD radix sort, MSD radix sort, 3-way radix quicksort, multiway tries, ternary search tries, Knuth-Morris-Pratt, Boyer-Moore, Rabin-Karp, regular expression matching, run-length coding, Huffman coding, LZW compression, and the Burrows-Wheeler transform.

As other reviews say the book has thin pages and you can partly see through them. But that's just how the publisher handled the book size. There are about 1000 pages, if each one was thicker the book would be heavier and harder to work with. Note that the book you'll receive will have red cover (as in the product without the video lectures), not blue (as on this product's page). Anyway, here is something that other reviews don't explain - how to get access to the videos. On the packaging there is ISBN number that you need to use to register your product on Informit.com. Supposedly when you register the book the site is to ask you a question that will be a proof of purchase. In my case the site didn't ask me anything. So I contacted Informit.com support, they asked to provide the proof of purchase (like desertcart order number and a screenshot). After that I got a digital code for Informit.com that grants you access to the video lectures. Hope this helps! =) Review: Excellent book but NO ACCESS to video lectures - The book is great, excellent content. Dr Sedgewick explanations are delightful. if you're diving deep in Algorithms understanding it help you a lot. It helped me a lot on my master's degree studies. But my personal advice is, you better don't buy this book from desertcart, the promised access to the video lectures is not provided. I thought in buying (the most expensive) deluxe version only because of the lectures but ended up receiving a standard version instead, see pictures attached. So, my lesson was, do not buy the book from desertcart better do it from the publisher web page. Even if I return this book from my country, it's so expensive to return the item and then buy again the deluxe version.
