Practical Analysis of Algorithms: Undergraduate Topics in Computer Science

Autor Dana Vrajitoru, William Knight
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 sep 2014
This book introduces the essential concepts of algorithm analysis required by core undergraduate and graduate computer science courses, in addition to providing a review of the fundamental mathematical notions necessary to understand these concepts. Features: includes numerous fully-worked examples and step-by-step proofs, assuming no strong mathematical background; describes the foundation of the analysis of algorithms theory in terms of the big-Oh, Omega, and Theta notations; examines recurrence relations; discusses the concepts of basic operation, traditional loop counting, and best case and worst case complexities; reviews various algorithms of a probabilistic nature, and uses elements of probability theory to compute the average complexity of algorithms such as Quicksort; introduces a variety of classical finite graph algorithms, together with an analysis of their complexity; provides an appendix on probability theory, reviewing the major definitions and theorems used in the book.

Recenzii

“This textbook is a practical approach to the analysis of algorithms from a programmer’s perspective. … This book therefore does play an important role for educating programmers on how to analyze the runtime requirements of their algorithms. … The authors are in essence talking to readers when presenting the material and take a step-by-step approach when presenting the mathematical proofs. … A one-semester course on the analysis of algorithms can be crafted based on the chapters of this text.” (R. Goldberg, Computing Reviews, March, 2015)
“Vrajitoru and Knight (both, Indiana Univ.) cover standard algorithmic problems from sorting to graph theory. The authors provide ready-to-run C++ programs for many of their algorithms. It is clear from the exercises and examples that this book's content has been used in teaching undergraduates for a number of years. … Summing Up: Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates and faculty.” (P. Cull, Choice, Vol. 52 (10), June, 2015)
“The book is dedicated to an old, important and complex topic in computer science. … The multiple exercises in each section invite the readers to a deeper exploration of the subjects. The formalized style of the book is expected to attract especially young students introduced already to mathematical formalisms. The material can be used as a textbook for undergraduate courses in computer science.” (Dana Petcu, zbMATH, Vol. 1303, 2015)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Analysis of algorithms plays an essential role in the education and training of any serious programmer preparing to deal with real world applications.
Practical Analysis of Algorithms introduces the essential concepts of algorithm analysis required by core undergraduate and graduate computer science courses, in addition to providing a review of the fundamental mathematical notions necessary to understand these concepts. Throughout the text, the explanations are aimed at the level of understanding of a typical upper-level student, and are accompanied by detailed examples and classroom-tested exercises.
Topics and features:
  • Includes numerous fully-worked examples and step-by-step proofs, assuming no strong mathematical background
  • Describes the foundation of the analysis of algorithms theory in terms of the big-Oh, Omega, and Theta notations
  • Examines recurrence relations, a very important tool used in the analysis of algorithms
  • Discusses the concepts of basic operation, traditional loop counting, and best case and worst case complexities
  • Reviews various algorithms of a probabilistic nature, and uses elements of probability theory to compute the average complexity of algorithms such as Quicksort
  • Introduces a variety of classical finite graph algorithms, together with an analysis of their complexity
  • Provides an appendix on probability theory, reviewing the major definitions and theorems used in
the book This clearly-structured and easy-to-read textbook/reference applies a unique, practical approach suitable for professional short courses and tutorials, as well as for students of computer science.
