Algorithms in a Nutshell 算法技术手册 英文版

Revising a book for a new edition is always an arduous task. We wanted to make sure that we retained all the good qualities of the first edition, published in 2009, while fixing some of its shortcomings and adding additional material. We continue to follow the principles outlined in the first edition: Use real code, not just pseudocode to describe algorithms Separate the algorithm from the problem being solved Introduce just enough mathematics Support mathematical analysis empirically As we updated this second edition, we reduced the length of our text descriptions and simplified the layout to make room for new algorithms and additional material. We believe we continue to offer a Nutshell perspective on an important area of computer science that has significant impact on practical software systems.
