As society attempts to solve more and more problems computationally, the need for efficient algorithms to solve these problems continues to grow. Just as importantly, to be able to apply or adapt ...

I am taking data structures and algorithm analysis right now, and I didn't really like the book. I think having an algorithm book around would be helpful though. Just wondering what you guys use for ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Computer scientists often deal with abstract problems that are hard to comprehend, but an exciting new algorithm matters to anyone who ...

The trajectory of books about new technologies follows a similar pattern: first, hype; then, backlash; then, finally, a more considered view of what it might actually be good for. The first hype books ...

The library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal. Computer scientists often ...

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 ...

In a world where our feeds decide what we see, think, and even believe, books still hold the power to surprise us in ways no algorithm can. Non-fiction does more than inform; it awakens. These books ...
