书籍简介：

Have you ever wondered how your GPS can find the fastest way to your destination, selecting one route from seemingly countless possibilities in mere seconds? How your credit card account number is protected when you make a purchase over the Internet? The answer is algorithms. And how do these mathematical formulations translate themselves into your GPS, your laptop, or your smart phone? This book offers an engagingly written guide to the basics of computer algorithms. In Algorithms Unlocked, Thomas Cormen—coauthor of the leading college textbook on the subject—provides a general explanation, with limited mathematics, of how algorithms enable computers to solve problems. Readers will learn what computer algorithms are, how to describe them, and how to evaluate them. They will discover simple ways to search for information in a computer; methods for rearranging information in a computer into a prescribed order (“sorting”); how to solve basic problems that can be modeled in a computer with a mathematical structure called a “graph” (useful for modeling road networks, dependencies among tasks, and financial relationships); how to solve problems that ask questions about strings of characters such as DNA structures; the basic principles behind cryptography; fundamentals of data compression; and even that there are some problems that no one has figured out how to solve on a computer in a reasonable amount of time.

作者简介：

Thomas H. Cormen is Professor of Computer Science and former Director of the Institute for Writing and Rhetoric at Dartmouth College. He is the coauthor (with Charles E. Leiserson, Ronald L. Rivest, and Clifford Stein) of the leading textbook on computer algorithms, Introduction to Algorithms.

书友短评：

@ emerald 贴近生活。讲到graph时，发现还是grokking 讲得更简洁易懂。接着往下看，越发觉得grokking 的妙 unlocked 的迷糊。空间直觉是思维本质，逻辑描述是不得已而为之。甭管作者名气多大， 把逻辑描述当作本质，就太。。。。后面一大半没兴趣了， 一堆乱糟糟的符号 @ 豆友57883266 定位偏科普，内容已经比较 technical 了，但限于篇幅无法展开。 @ Wentao 对新手友好，难度偏低，大概相当 LeetCode easy @ 莫凭栏 回忆一些简单的数据结构和算法，讲的比较清楚。后面有一些没看懂 @ 没脚鸟 如果没勇气读1300多页的《算法导论》，可以先从这本 贴近生活。讲到graph时，发现还是grokking 讲得更简洁易懂。接着往下看，越发觉得grokking 的妙 unlocked 的迷糊。空间直觉是思维本质，逻辑描述是不得已而为之。甭管作者名气多大， 把逻辑描述当作本质，就太。。。。后面一大半没兴趣了， 一堆乱糟糟的符号 @ 豆友57883266 定位偏科普，内容已经比较 technical 了，但限于篇幅无法展开。 @ 莫凭栏 回忆一些简单的数据结构和算法，讲的比较清楚。后面有一些没看懂 @ 棉花糖 快速算法入门 @ ddddddddyao 算法入门。作者讲得非常清楚，数学和伪代码也都比较清楚。但后面两章还是有点难啊。希望CLRS读完以后能更清楚理解这些算法。
