Algorithms are the heart and soul of computer science. They are indispensable, they are everywhere - from network routing and genomics calculations to cryptography and machine learning. A "perfect algorithm" will turn you into a real pro who will set tasks and skillfully solve them both in life and at an interview when hiring for any IT company. In this book, Tim Rafgarden - the guru of algorithms - will talk about asymptotic analysis, big-O notation, divide-and-conquer algorithms, randomization, sorting and selection.
