Some books on algorithms are rigorous but incomplete; others cover masses of material but lack rigor. Introduction to Algorithms uniquely combines rigor and comprehensiveness. It covers a broad range of algorithms in depth, yet makes their design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers, with self-contained chapters and algorithms in pseudocode. Since the publication of the first edition, Introduction to Algorithms has become the leading algorithms text in universities worldwide as well as the standard reference for professionals. This fourth edition has been updated throughout. Thomas H. Cormen is Emeritus Professor of Computer Science at Dartmouth College. Charles E. Leiserson is Edwin Sibley Webster Professor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT. Ronald L. Rives.
