The Algorithm Design Manual by Steve S Skiena
Most professional programmers that I've encountered are not well prepared to tacklealgorithmdesignproblems.Thisisapity, becausethetechniquesofalgorithm design form one of the core practical technologies of computer science. Designing correct, e?cient, and implementable algorithms for real-world problems requires access to two distinct bodies of knowledge: - Techniques - Good algorithm designers understand several fundamental - gorithm design techniques, including data structures, dynamic programming, depth-?rst search, backtracking, and heuristics. Perhaps the single most - portantdesigntechniqueismodeling, theartofabstractingamessyreal-world application into a clean problem suitable for algorithmic attack. - Resources - Good algorithm designers stand on the shoulders of giants. Ratherthanlaboringfromscratchtoproduceanewalgorithmforeverytask, they can ?gure out what is known about a particular problem. Rather than re-implementing popular algorithms from scratch, they seek existing imp- mentations to serve as a starting point. They are familiar with many classic algorithmic problems, which provide su?cient source material to model most any application. This book is intended as a manual on algorithm design, providing access to combinatorial algorithm technology for both students and computer professionals.At Stony Brook University, Steven Skiena is a Distinguished Teaching Professor of Computer Science. His research focuses on the development of graph, string, and geometric algorithms, as well as their applications (especially in biology). His writings include The Algorithm Design Manual and Calculated Bets: Computers, Gambling, and Mathematical Models to Win. General Sentiment (www.generalsentiment.com), a media measurement company based on his Lydia text/sentiment analysis technology, is co-founded and led by him as Chief Scientist. Skiena earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Illinois in 1988 and has authored more than 130 technical articles. He has received the ONR Young Investigator Award and the IEEE Computer Science and Engineer Teaching Award, and he is a former Fulbright scholar.
