{"product_id":"9780073523408","title":"Algorithms","description":"This text explains the fundamentals of algorithms in a story line that makes the material enjoyable and easy to digest. Emphasis is placed on understanding the crisp mathematical idea behind each algorithm, in a manner that is intuitive and rigorous without being unduly formal. Features include: The use of boxes to strengthen the narrative: pieces that provide historical context, descriptions of how the algorithms are used in practice, and excursions for the mathematically sophisticated. Carefully chosen advanced topics that can be skipped in a standard one-semester course, but can be covered in an advanced algorithms course or in a more leisurely two-semester sequence. An accessible treatment of linear programming introduces students to one of the greatest achievements in algorithms. An optional chapter on the quantum algorithm for factoring provides a unique peephole into this exciting topic. \"Algorithms\" is an outstanding undergraduate text, equally informed by the historical roots and contemporary applications of its subject.","brand":"Sanjoy Dasgupta, Christos Papadimitriou, Umesh Vazirani","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45718986359102,"sku":"9780073523408","price":8545.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780073523408_1c235d44-bd2a-4f40-913a-8f98ca1972cf.jpg?v=1707211554","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780073523408","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
