Essential Information that Every Serious Programming Student Needs to Know about Algorithms and Data Structures

A Classic Reference

The latest version of Sedgewick's best-selling series, reflecting an indispensable body of knowledge developed over the past several decades.

Broad Coverage

Full treatment of data structures and algorithms for sorting, searching, graph processing, string processing, and geometric applications, including fifty algorithms every programmer should know. See www.cs.princeton.edu/algs4/top50 .

Completely Revised Code

New Java implementations written in an accessible, modular programming style, where all of the code is exposed to the reader and ready to use. New versions of quicksort, LZW compression, red-black tree search, RE pattern matching, and many other algorithms.

Engages with Applications

Algorithms are studied in the context of important scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. Clients and algorithms are expressed in real code, not the pseudo-code found in many other books.

Intellectually Stimulating

Engages reader interest with clear, concise text, detailed examples with visuals, carefully crafted code, historical and scientific context, and exercises at all levels.

A Scientific Approach

Develops precise statements about performance, supported by appropriate mathematical models and empirical studies validating those models.

Product Description
This fourth edition of Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne’s Algorithms is the leading textbook on algorithms today and is widely used in colleges and universities worldwide. This book surveys the most important computer algorithms currently in use and provides a full treatment of data structures and algorithms for sorting, searching, graph processing, and string processing -- including fifty algorithms every programmer should know. 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 algorithms in this book 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, not to mention students who use computation in the liberal arts.
