Gain a solid understanding of algorithms and improve your problem-solving abilities using Python code. With practical examples and clear explanations, this book bridges the gap between dense academic texts and overly simple industry guides.
Focusing on the logic behind essential algorithms such as Breadth First Search (BFS), Depth First Search (DFS), Divide-and-Conquer, Greedy Methods, and Dynamic Programming, the book provides ample examples, from easy to more advanced. By connecting these concepts to real-world examples, such as chess strategies and the Seam Carving, the book helps readers better grasp and apply algorithms. Each chapter also includes fully implemented Python code, making it a practical reference.
Mastering Algorithms with Python is ideal for IT professionals looking to enhance their skills and approach algorithms with clarity and confidence.

System requirements
File format: PDF
Copy protection: Watermark-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
System requirements:
- Computer (Windows; MacOS X; Linux): Use the free software Adobe Reader, Adobe Digital Editions, or any other PDF viewer of your choice (see eBook Help).
- Tablet/Smartphone (Android; iOS): Install the free app Adobe Digital Editions or another reading app for eBooks, e.g., PocketBook (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 Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
