BOOK



Have you ever wondered how your GPS can find the fastest way to

your destination, selecting one route from seemingly countless

possibilities in mere seconds? How your credit card account

number is protected when you make a purchase over the Internet?

The answer is algorithms. And how do these mathematical

formulations translate themselves into your GPS, your laptop, or

your smart phone? This book offers an engagingly written guide to

the basics of computer algorithms. In Algorithms Unlocked, Thomas

Cormen -- coauthor of the leading college textbook on the subject

provides a general explanation, with limited mathematics, of

how algorithms enable computers to solve problems. Readers will

learn what computer algorithms are, how to describe them, and how

to evaluate them. They will discover simple ways to search for

information in a computer methods for rearranging information in

a computer into a prescribed order ("sorting" how to solve

basic problems that can be modeled in a computer with a

mathematical structure called a "graph" (useful for modeling road

networks, dependencies among tasks, and financial relationships)

how to solve problems that ask questions about strings of

characters such as DNA structures the basic principles behind

cryptography fundamentals of data compression and even that

there are some problems that no one has figured out how to solve

on a computer in a reasonable amount of time
