Data Structures and Algorithms First Edition

The book was very clean and looked like new. Now if I could just comprehend the contents, all would be good. ;-)

I found this book to be detailed and very good at explaining things. I was able to teach myself the concept of time complexity and working through algorithms

Well written and nice explanations.

A classic.

This review applies to both books by these authors: It applies to "The design and analysis of computer algorithms"; and it applies to "Data structures and algorithms".The CONTENT of the books is wonderful; marvelous; and if you learn it you will be on your way to be a great computer scientist.The PRINTING, by once great but now low quality Addison-Wesley... is a whole other matter. The book binding is almost ripping after 2 weeks of reading; the paper is garbage, and the ink is also very poor.Wonderful books to have. Perhaps in digital form; but not these garbage Addison-Wesley copies. These are pretty lame.

Pros:-Covers a lot-Good for self-motivated study, if using with other references-Illustrations are good for overall data structuresCons:-Doesn't provide full implementations of most data structures-Dense text, the author often takes a lot of words to say little-At the same time, the author does not spend enough time on certain data types-Along with actually implementing more methods, illustrations of methods would help-If you don't have a strong math background, explanations of algorithms will go right over your head

The book is in good condition.
