In this module the student will learn the very basics of algorithms through three examples: insertion sort (sort an array in ascending/descending order); binary search: search whether an element is ...

For many applications, a randomized algorithm is either the simplest or the fastest algorithm available, and sometimes both. This book introduces the basic concepts in the design and analysis of ...

Check if you have access via personal or institutional login This is the first Visual Basic.NET book to provide a comprehensive discussion of the major data structures and algorithms. Here, instead of ...

Efficiency looks at how much time it takes to run a particular algorithm and how much space is needed. By using both measurements, an algorithm that looks much more complex can actually be more ...

Mathematical Background: We expect that the student is comfortable with basic mathematics at the level of a U.S. first-year college STEM student. This includes basic notions such as sets and functions ...
