Introduction To Algorithms




''Introduction to Algorithms'' is a book by Thomas H. Cormen , Charles E. Leiserson , Ronald L. Rivest , and Clifford Stein . It is often used as the textbook for algorithms courses at many universities, including McGill , Penn , Oxford , York , MIT , Stanford , and Berkeley .

Professor Cormen teaches at Dartmouth College , Professors Rivest and Leiserson teach at MIT , and Professor Stein teaches at Columbia .

The first edition of the textbook did not include Prof. Stein as an author, and thus the book became known by the acronym CLR. After the addition of the fourth author in the second edition, many began to refer to the book as CLRS.

The authors claim to combine rigor and comprehensiveness in this book. Within 1180 pages of the second edition it contains all the important and advanced data structures, advance design and analysis techniques, graph theory and everything necessary to know for an algorist. Many insist that this book is an essential text for any programmer's bookshelf.
