Algorithm Design

Algorithm Design, co-authored by Jon Kleinberg and Éva Tardos, is a widely-used textbook that introduces algorithms by examining the real-world problems they are designed to solve. The book focuses on a variety of design and analysis techniques, such as greedy algorithms, divide and conquer, dynamic programming, and network flow. It aims to teach students the thought process behind designing algorithms and to highlight the importance of algorithms in computer science. The text is praised for its clear writing style and for presenting practical, motivating examples.
