One of the best algorithm texts I've seen I never really appreciated this book until many years after graduating from college. I had this in my library just sitting around. The data structures course I took in school was completely uninspiring. However, when it came to researching and implementing appropriate data structures for my own software, I didn't realize how comprehensive this book is. It covers more algorithms and in greater detail than the ever popular Cormen book. The pascal-like examples are very thorough. There are times when code is not provided, but it gives you enough detail to extrapolate from what is already there to get started. | ||
Great book for beginners... This is one of the 2 texts we've had for our data structures course. I'm not sure what the other book is, because this one was so good. It covered the material in a clear and precise way. I even have a copy of this book today, for further reference! | ||
Great introduction to the subject, wonderful teaching.. I seriously like this book. It's explaining is close to crystal clear to me when I read it, and the algorithms listed (in pseudo-code) take it to a practical level. | ||
One of the best books of its type One of the best ways to discover the strengths and weaknesses of a textbook is to teach a course using it. A few years ago I taught a senior-level course on Data Structures using this book. The book was a joy to teach from, and I would happily use it again -- I thought it was one of the nicest textbooks I've ever used. (In case you haven't figured it out from the above paragraph, I believe that Paul Schreiber's review of this book is far too negative.) | ||
Inadequate Computer Science In this book, Lewis and Denenberg attempt to explain data structures and associated algorithms. They rely too heavily on obscure proofs, have few, if any worked-out examples and many ambiguously worded questions. Their assesrrtion that a "high school" math background is needed is clearly false. The book also suffers from poor typesetting. | ||
