Review: A very good text[book] either for students or teachers.
Well written, and easy to understand. The concepts of
algorithms are well presented.I like very much this textbook and so happy to discover it.
I teach algorithms for computer science students at Qatar
university, I used many different textbooks, but really
this is the one that I admire. However, I regret to not have an instructor's manual for
it. I encourge deeply the authors to prepare one.

Summary: For beginners? Sure.
Review: I attend the school in which these two professors received their tenureship, and I must say, that this book is an absolute disappointment. They state that the reader "require no knowledge of calculus, only College Algebra" yet they go through the theories with little to no explanation, and assuming that the reader knows caculus. The book does a pitiful job of explaining chained matrix multiplication, graph theory, dynamic programming, Diskstra's algorithms, et al. It's NOT the best book, we're using the 3rd edition and it is just as bad as the 2nd edition. There are tons of typos and errors alike.

Review: I read this book at my school's library. It's a pretty good book for beginners attempting to learn Algorithms on their own. There's a lot of code snippets to go with the text. Recommended for anybody looking for an algorithms book suitable for beginners.

Summary: really good for beginners
Review: In fact, it doesn't have C++ but C pseudocode; other than that, the book is marvelous in terms of being an introduction to the analysis of algorithms. The code is very clear and almost always has commentaries where they should be. Another point to remark is that the authors frequently encourage students to deepen in advanced concepts by presenting concrete bibliography. A very good reference book, I must say.
