Reviews


helpful and easy to read
I read the book and found it very helpful. It has a very excellent point of view and very easy to understand.

Excellent book!
This book is excellent. However, it's dense, so you'll have to read it carefully and never in a hurry.

Well written
I bought this book because I wanted to have theory on linear programming including duality, integer linear programming, typical graph algorithms and matroid theory in one book. Up to now I have read only most of the chapter on matroids and I would like to say a big thanks to the author.

Although you will not solve the world's problems with greedy algorithms, my mathematical part of the heart was pleased and satisfied by the theory which explained the very nice relation between matroids and greedy algorithms.

Maybe I will tell you more in a few months

Combinatorial Optimization: Algorithms and Complexity
The book's state is very good, so I am satisfied with it.

A classic...
I won't lie to you: this book is well written but relatively hard to read. The subject is inherently difficult, after all! I highly suggest it, though, because the author is a recognized expert on the field and the price is relatively low. It's worth it even if you enjoy a few pages...
