<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Algorithms Illuminated is an accessible introduction to algorithms for anyone with at least a little programming experience, based on a sequence of popular online courses. Part 1 covers asymptotic analysis and big-O notation, divide-and-conquer algorithms, randomized algorithms, and several famous algorithms for sorting and selection.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Algorithms are the heart and soul of computer science. Their applications range from network routing and computational genomics to public-key cryptography and machine learning. Studying algorithms can make you a better programmer, a clearer thinker, and a master of technical interviews. Algorithms Illuminated is an accessible introduction to the subject for anyone with at least a little programming experience. The exposition emphasizes the big picture and conceptual understanding over low-level implementation and mathematical details---like a transcript of what an expert algorithms tutor would say over a series of one-on-one lessons. Part 1 covers asymptotic analysis and big-O notation, divide-and-conquer algorithms and the master method, randomized algorithms, and several famous algorithms for sorting and selection.</p>
