    • "Before there were computers, there were algorithms. But now that there are com­puters, there are even more algorithms, and algorithms lie at the heart of computing...This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the modem study of com­puter algorithms. It presents many algorithms and covers them in considerable depth, yet makes their design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers. We have tried to keep explanations elementary without sacrificing depth of coverage or mathematical rigor."
