'When I joined Google in 2000, algorithmic problems came up every day. Even strong engineers didn't have all the background they needed to design efficient algorithms. Paolo Ferragina's well-written and concise book helps fill that void. A strong software engineer who masters this material will be an asset.' Martin Farach-Colton, Rutgers University 'There are plenty of books on Algorithm Design, but few about Algorithm Engineering. This is one of those rare books on algorithms that pays the necessary attention to the more practical aspects of the process, which become crucial when actual performance matters, and which render some theoretically appealing algorithms useless in real life. The author is an authority on this challenging path between theory and practice of algorithms, which aims at both conceptually nontrivial and practically relevant solutions. I hope the readers will find the reading as pleasant and inspiring as I did.' Gonzalo Navarro, University of Chile 'Ferragina combines his skills as a coding engineer, an algorithmic mathematician, and a pedagogic innovator to engineer a string of pearls made up of beautiful algorithms. In this, beauty dovetails with computational efficiency. His data structures of Stringomics hold the promise for a better understanding of population of genomes and the history of humanity. It belongs in the library of anyone interested in the beauty of code and the code of beauty.' Bud Mishra, Courant Institute, New York University 'There are many textbooks on algorithms focusing on big-O notation and general design principles. This book offers a completely unique aspect of taking the design and analyses to the level of predictable practical efficiency. No sacrifices in generality are made, but rather a convenient formalism is developed around external memory efficiency and parallelism provided by modern computers. The benefits of randomization are elegantly used for obtaining simple algorithms, whose insightful analyses provide the reader with useful tools to be applied to other settings. This book will be invaluable in broadening the computer science curriculum with a course on algorithm engineering.' Veli Makinen, University of HelsinkiMore details

System requirements:
- Computer (Windows; MacOS X; Linux): Install the free reader Adobe Digital Editions prior to download (see eBook Help).
- Tablet/smartphone (Android; iOS): Install the free app Adobe Digital Editions or the app PocketBook before downloading (see eBook Help).

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
Please note: We strongly recommend that you authorise using your personal Adobe ID after installation of any reading software.
