BOOK

Have you ever wondered how your GPS can find the fastest way to
your destination, selecting one route from seemingly countless
possibilities in mere seconds? How your credit card account
number is protected when you make a purchase over the Internet?
The answer is algorithms. And how do these mathematical
formulations translate themselves into your GPS, your laptop, or
your smart phone? This book offers an engagingly written guide to
the basics of computer algorithms. In Algorithms Unlocked, Thomas
Cormen -- coauthor of the leading college textbook on the subject
provides a general explanation, with limited mathematics, of
how algorithms enable computers to solve problems. Readers will
learn what computer algorithms are, how to describe them, and how
to evaluate them. They will discover simple ways to search for
information in a computer methods for rearranging information in
a computer into a prescribed order ("sorting&#34 how to solve
basic problems that can be modeled in a computer with a
mathematical structure called a "graph" (useful for modeling road
networks, dependencies among tasks, and financial relationships)
how to solve problems that ask questions about strings of
characters such as DNA structures the basic principles behind
cryptography fundamentals of data compression and even that
there are some problems that no one has figured out how to solve
on a computer in a reasonable amount of time
