Author: Anany Levitin DownloadEditor: Oxford University Press ISBN: 0199911770 Size: 14,86 MB Format: PDF Read: 484 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.

Main objective is not to give you the theorems and proofs about DS and Algorithms. I have followed a pattern of improving the problem solutions with different complexities (for each problem, you observe multiple solutions with different improved complexities). Basically, its an enumeration of possible solutions. With this approach, even if we get a new question it gives us a way to think about all possible solutions. Target Audience? These books are very much useful for interview preparation, GATE preparation, campus preparations. Specially for GATE, I included some extra chapters. Language? All code was written in C. I am planning to release the same in Java and as of now there is no time bound for this :) All the above details can also be seen at: CareerMonk.com Note: Before taking decision, I strongly recommend you to go through the sample chapters provided in site. That gives you an idea about the pattern of problems in the book. If you feel this will help others, please spread this mail. The main objective of this book is to make people aware of importance of data structures and algorithms. As a job seeker if you read the referenced books completely with good understanding, I am sure you will challenge the interviewers and that is the main objective.If you read as an instructor, you will give better lectures with easy go approach and a result your students will feel proud for selecting Computer Science/Information Technology as their degree.These books are very much useful for the students of Engineering and Masters during their academic preparations. All the chapters of this book contain theory and their related problems as many as possible. There are a total of approximately 700+ algorithmic problems and all of them are with solutions.And finally if you read as a student preparing for competition exams [like Graduate Aptitude Test for Engineering, DRDO or any other exam for Computer Science/Information Technology], then the content of this book covers all the required topics in full detail. While writing the book, an intense care has been taken to ensure that the content should help students who are preparing for these kinds of exams.In all the chapters you will see more importance given to problems and analyzing them instead of concentrating more on theory. For each chapter, first you will see the basic required theory and then problems. Geek Sudoku

Author: Srini Devadas DownloadEditor: MIT Press ISBN: 0262534304 Size: 17,57 MB Format: PDF, Mobi Read: 943 This book builds a bridge between the recreational world of algorithmic puzzles (puzzles that can be solved by algorithms) and the pragmatic world of computer programming, teaching readers to program while solving puzzles. Few introductory students want to program for programming's sake. Puzzles are real-world applications that are attention grabbing, intriguing, and easy to describe. Each lesson starts with the description of a puzzle. After a failed attempt or two at solving the puzzle, the reader arrives at an Aha! moment -- a search strategy, data structure, or mathematical fact -- and the solution presents itself. The solution to the puzzle becomes the specification of the code to be written. Readers will thus know what the code is supposed to do before seeing the code itself. This represents a pedagogical philosophy that decouples understanding the functionality of the code from understanding programming language syntax and semantics. Python syntax and semantics required to understand the code are explained as needed for each puzzle. Readers need only the rudimentary grasp of programming concepts that can be obtained from introductory or AP computer science classes in high school. The book includes more than twenty puzzles and more than seventy programming exercises that vary in difficulty. Many of the puzzles are well known and have appeared in publications and on websites in many variations. They range from scheduling selfie time with celebrities to solving Sudoku problems in seconds to verifying the six degrees of separation hypothesis. The code for selected puzzle solutions is downloadable from the book's website; the code for all puzzle solutions is available to instructors. Data Structures And Algorithms Made Easy In Java

Guide To Programming And Algorithms Using R
Author: Özgür Ergül DownloadEditor: Springer Science & Business Media ISBN: 1447153286 Size: 15,33 MB Format: PDF, Kindle Read: 990 This easy-to-follow textbook provides a student-friendly introduction to programming and algorithms. Emphasis is placed on the threshold concepts that present barriers to learning, including the questions that students are often too embarrassed to ask. The book promotes an active learning style in which a deeper understanding is gained from evaluating, questioning, and discussing the material, and practised in hands-on exercises. Although R is used as the language of choice for all programs, strict assumptions are avoided in the explanations in order for these to remain applicable to other programming languages. Features: provides exercises at the end of each chapter; includes three mini projects in the final chapter; presents a list of titles for further reading at the end of the book; discusses the key aspects of loops, recursions, program and algorithm efficiency and accuracy, sorting, linear systems of equations, and file processing; requires no prior background knowledge in this area.
