书籍简介：

While many think of algorithms as specific to computer science, at its core algorithmic thinking is defined by the use of analytical logic to solve problems. This logic extends far beyond the realm of computer science and into the wide and entertaining world of puzzles. In Algorithmic Puzzles, Anany and Maria Levitin use many classic brainteasers as well as newer examples from job interviews with major corporations to show readers how to apply analytical thinking to solve puzzles requiring well-defined procedures. The book's unique collection of puzzles is supplemented with carefully developed tutorials on algorithm design strategies and analysis techniques intended to walk the reader step-by-step through the various approaches to algorithmic problem solving. Mastery of these strategies–exhaustive search, backtracking, and divide-and-conquer, among others–will aid the reader in solving not only the puzzles contained in this book, but also others encountered in interviews, puzzle collections, and throughout everyday life. Each of the 150 puzzles contains hints and solutions, along with commentary on the puzzle's origins and solution methods. The only book of its kind, Algorithmic Puzzles houses puzzles for all skill levels. Readers with only middle school mathematics will develop their algorithmic problem-solving skills through puzzles at the elementary level, while seasoned puzzle solvers will enjoy the challenge of thinking through more difficult puzzles.

书友短评：

@ [已注销] 前面的tutorial深入浅出，后面的一些puzzle的确很难，不是一时半会儿想得出来的，但是利用上下班坐公车以及睡前的时间，累积起来，即使在一个问题上一直死磕，之后看到答案会明白得越透彻。题目看多了，就有了所谓的＂思维＂。 @ 舟行 读过一个开头。 @ Y7UK2 数迷可不是我的长项，当年流行的数独从来没内行过，话说我的想读清单里怎么会有这么一本书…… @ [已注销] 每天解几个puzzle或者死活题，转转脑子。 @ GARGOYLE A collection of puzzles～质量不高，写的一般，有意思的问题也很少，完全不如ACM @ 狡兔三窟 数迷可不是我的长项，当年流行的数独从来没内行过，话说我的想读清单里怎么会有这么一本书…… @ 每天解几个puzzle或者死活题，转转脑子。 @ GARGOYLE A collection of puzzles～质量不高，写的一般，有意思的问题也很少，完全不如ACM @ Y7UK2 数迷可不是我的长项，当年流行的数独从来没内行过，话说我的想读清单里怎么会有这么一本书…… @ 对我就是那个谁 挺精致的一本书，但是就只是puzzle而已。和那本算法设计与分析基础 一样，想法是好的，但是想法的威力没有完全展现。
