 Description: 

Foundations of Algorithms, Fifth Edition delivers a well balanced discussion of algorithmic design, complexity analysis, complexity analysis. includes a well balanced discussion of algorithmic design, complexity analysis, complexity analysis in a compentence-based format. The text is suitable for any student in a college curriculum who requires a refresher on math and discrete structures, through measures a student will get through. The programmer can use the text to take the ideas of random structures and extend them to current algorithms. Appendixes that apply to basic mathematical terms and descriptions of key brain mechanisms and functions can help clarify the theoretical interpretations and encourage retention. C++ and Java pseudocode help students understand more complicated and challenging algorithms The book provides a chapter on fundamental number theory. In it, it speaks about the Euclid's Algorithm for discovering the greatest common divisor, a study of modular arithmetic, an algorithm for solving modular linear equations, an algorithm for calculating modular powers, and the new polynomial-time algorithm for deciding if a number is prime. The revised and updated Fifth Edition includes an all-new chapter on genetic algorithms and genetic programming, including approximate solutions to the travelling salesperson dilemma, an algorithm for an artificial ant that navigates along a trail of fruit, and an approach to financial trading. With thoroughly revised activities and examples throughout and enhanced instructor tools including complete solutions, an Instructor's Manual and PowerPoint seminar outlines, Foundations of Algorithms is an important text for undergraduate and graduate courses in the design and study of algorithms. An revised text contains a unique chapter on genetic algorithms. I can admit, the programming style is unique, but much of it is easy to understand. A code library is presented and makes applying algorithms easier. The text is very explicit and describes the variations between approaches. The explanations are easily illustrated in an interactive flow chart. The teacher notes enhance what used to not be provided. The book has been fully updated to incorporate algorithms from the current study. There is a new collection of problems and new ones are introduced periodically.
