Algorithms play a central role both in the theory and in the practice of
computing. The goal of the authors was to write a textbook that would
not trivialize the subject but would still be readable by most students
on their own. The book contains over 120 exercises. Some of them are
drills; others make important points about the material covered in the
text or introduce new algorithms not covered there. The book also
provides programming projects.
