Algorithms in C++ Part 5: Graph Algorithms

The absolute best Algorithm book.I've completed Robert Sedgewick's course on Coursera, which was based on Java, and now that I've switched to C++ I decided to try the same author and, for the most part, same course, but in C++, which should also help me improve my C++ skills. I'd say - it was a good decision.

The book is an excellent resource to learn graph algorithms and see them actually implemented in code. Everyday my skills as a programmer are increasing thanks to this book.

Very good, good examples and very clarified explanations, i will recommend it to everyone on the area of graph theory and computer science

Nearly new book, very good. Most important is the price!!! very fair price for a great used book. I love it.

Great book!

Good quality

I don't intend to read this book from front to back (well maybe one day if I get really bored) but I think this book does a very good job explaining the algorithm without getting obsessed with overly formal mathematical games. In my opinion the graphs are the most important part of the series, since these are the algorithms and data structures that usually AREN'T included in a programming language's libraries; STL for example. You will find many of these topics in a mathematics and statistics program (how I first encountered them) so the book does get mathematical, but out of necessity.4 out of 5 stars for sometimes being unclear.

Robert Sedgewick is certainly well known to all people involved in the development of algorithms form different fields as an author of a number of books about algorithmic methods and data structures. And I am sure that we all appreciate this work because one simply needs all the time a reference to look up not only how one can solve a probem algorithmic but also how one can do this in an efficient way.This book provides a good overview of algorithms dealing with graphs but the problem is that the connection between the given source code in C and its general exlanation failed. It is clear, that a solution to a problem does not depend on the underlying programing language, hence, Sedgewick's book is anyway not intened to do this otherwise it would wear another title. On the other hand, an algorithm without general explanation brings not much.I think this book has a conceptual problem. None is interested in preimplemented code, because one normaly has a certain problem the algorithm has to be adapted. In general, this book is better then nothing but far from being a complete source of information concerning the functioning of the algorithms.

Llegó el libro en perfecto estado. Está usado pero prácticamente nuevo.

Wissensvermittlung vom Feinsten.

Excellent
