Introduction to Algorithms, 3Ed. (International Edition) (MIT Press) Paperback – 20 August 2009

The quality of book is good. Delivery time could be improved.

Timely delivery, good quality.

This book is ever best for learning algorithmsTalk about quality of paper is very clear.

Content is good but printing quality needs improvement

The quality of the book is very bad. First of all the paper is very thin. If we ignore it then print quality is also pretty bad. Some words are misprinted or not even printed. The diagrams, one of the most important part of the book are printed in very bad quality. They are dark, not clear and even missing some details. I paid ₹875 for this book i think I deserve some decent quality.

Classical book for all algo students. You can't be a computer science graduate till you read this. But beware that this is a duplicate photocopied version.

The actual content of the book is amazing for people exploring data structures and algorithms mainly. Not for beginners but for people who know basics, it's amazing.Given 3 stars as the book paper, binding quality, etc is not good. Barely used that book and it already coming apart. This book is available free of cost as ebook at other places so if you don't need hard copy, use the e-book instead

I read reviews before buying this book and one thing i was sure that i will get a book with worst paper quality, but this is not the actual thing, i am going to have more than a month and not a single page wore yet, so go for it don't worry about paper quality its adequate for daily use(but needs extra care) rest about the contents of the book that you already know, that's why you are here.

Das Produkt kam sorgfältig und gut verpackt an. Es weist leichte Gebrauchsspuren auf, was aber beim Kauf mit angegeben wurde. Somit passt alles und ich bin zufrieden.

I am a math major who has taken a few cs courses from the cs department at my university. Up until reading this book cs has always been a bit of a mystery to me. I have heard a million and one time how cs is based on mathematics but aside from understanding the idea of traversing through arrays as you would the indexes of a sequence, I have never really seen the connection between the two subjects. This book does an amazing job of demonstrating the mathematical basis of cs. From the very beginning when the authors deconstruct the for-loop used in a insert-sort into a variation on mathematical induction the lines between the two subjects are made crystal clear.I would agree that a pretty solid understanding of mathematics is required for this book, and I can see why someone coming from a typical undergraduate education in cs would find it difficult and intimidating to tackle this book. It definitely does not teach you how to program or the basics of object oriented design as it proceeds to teach you about structure and design of algorithms. I can also understand why someone hoping to simply get a job as a "programmer" or "software engineer" would not necessarily be well served by this book. The authors are very upfront on this note though, and specifically warn prospective students that they are not going to teach them how to "code" solutions to common cs problems. What they are going to teach them is the fundamentals of algorithm analysis and design. How valuable prospective students find this approach is going to depend entirely on what exactly they hope to do with their understanding of computer science. If you want to learn how to code and be paid to be a developer (not a bad line of work by any stretch of the imagination) you might want to look else where.For someone coming from a mathematics background though (whether it's an applied field such as statistics or numerical analysis or a pure field like abstract algebra or analysis) this is an excellent introduction to the field of computer science. If you are coming from a math background the analysis and structure of algorithms as presented in this book will instantly click. For me personally I loved the fact that the underlining mathematical basis of cs did not get lost in details of coding or working within certain developmental environments like Eclipse. Again, probably not an ideal choice for someone looking to learn this particular subjects, but definitely a good choice for math majors (or prospective cs grad students).

From the beginning it's a clearly written book and does a really good job illustrating problems with detailed graphs and figures. The prior knowledge needed to understand the book is really basic and what it teaches is described in such detail and good order that every doubt is answered before it has the chance to appear. So far I have never felt lost or confused reading this book. Covers multiple approaches for each problem and has a great section of problems at the end of each chapter.

The cover has cuts in it and looks very beaten up and has dirty tape marks on it. The text is not properly printed on some pages. It looks like someone scanned the book incorrectly and made a book out of their scanned images. I paid 48 euros in total to get it here to The Netherlands and it was not worth it. I sent in a complaint and no one replied.

Perfecto! El libro es imprescindible para hacerse un master en algoritmos y estructura de datos. Es muy muy claro en eso y va al detalle absolutamente de todo
