A comprehensive update of the leading algorithms text, with new material on matchings in bipartite graphs, online algorithms, machine learning, and other topics.

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.

New for the fourth edition
New chapters on matchings in bipartite graphs, online algorithms, and machine learning
New material on topics including solving recurrence equations, hash tables, potential functions, and suffix arrays
140 new exercises and 22 new problems
Reader feedback–informed improvements to old problems
Clearer, more personal, and gender-neutral writing style
Color added to improve visual presentation
Notes, bibliography, and index updated to reflect developments in the field
Website with new supplementary material

Warning: Avoid counterfeit copies of Introduction to Algorithms by buying only from reputable retailers. Counterfeit and pirated copies are incomplete and contain errors.

NOT the same as the third edition

I am one of the authors of this book. Because Amazon no longer provides a "Reply" button on reviews, I am writing this review to counter a point made in other reviews that say that the fourth edition of Introduction to Algorithms is essentially the same as the third edition.I know this book better than anyone else on the planet, and the fourth edition is NOT the same as the third edition. I can see where you might think that if you compare the tables of contents. Or instead you could read the preface of the fourth edition, where we lay out in detail the changes we made in the fourth edition in 23 distinct bullet points describing global changes throughout the book and specific changes to chapters and sections.We worked on the fourth edition for several years. We would not have needed to do that if it were just "the third edition with color." I heartily suggest that reviewers actually READ the book before passing judgement on whether it's the same as the third edition.[Apologies for giving 5 stars. I had to give an overall rating, and in my humble and biased opinion, yeah, it deserves 5 stars.]

Great algorithms book

The book arrived in great condition. It's right as advertised. The pages are really shiny, there nice-looking illustrations. As far as its contents is concerned my first impressions are really good, I will start reading it pretty soon.

Great Condition

Very little damage on one of the corners, but still a great condition.

Extremely focused and explicit, with diagrams and figures that are very revealing. Every algorithm?

Have you heard of Ron Rivest?I love this book because I like clear, explicit, unambiguous technical information. I'm using it for my introduction to algorithms class. It does require a certain amount of effort - it's not an easy read but then algorithms are not in a class with, say, amusing anectdotes about puppies. I sit in my armchair and leaf through it. When the urge to think hard comes upon me, I go to my desk and attempt problems.The inconsistent base for indexing (zero or one) annoyed me and translating the pseudo-code to Python did not go smoothly but then I don't think coding these algorithms up and running them would have been that helpful anyway.Of note, this is a very large book and likely produces a significant gravitaitonal field.
