Algorithms in C, Part 5: Graph Algorithms 3rd Edition by Robert Sedgewick (PDF)

Description

Once again, Robert Sedgewick provides a current and comprehensive introduction to important algorithms. The focus this time is on graph algorithms, which are increasingly critical for a wide range of applications, such as network connectivity, circuit design, scheduling, transaction processing, and resource allocation. In this book, Sedgewick offers the same successful blend of theory and practice with concise implementations that can be tested on real applications, which has made his work popular with programmers for many years. Algorithms in C, Third Edition, Part 5: Graph Algorithms is the second book in Sedgewick’s thoroughly revised and rewritten series. The first book, Parts 1-4, addresses fundamental algorithms, data structures, sorting, and searching. A forthcoming third book will focus on strings, geometry, and a range of advanced algorithms. Each book’s expanded coverage features new algorithms and implementations, enhanced descriptions and diagrams, and a wealth of new exercises for polishing skills. A focus on abstract data types makes the programs more broadly useful and relevant for the modern object-oriented programming environment. Coverage includes: A complete overview of graph properties and types Diagraphs and DAGs Minimum spanning trees Shortest paths Network flows Diagrams, sample C code, and detailed algorithm descriptions The Web site for this book (http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~rs/) provides additional source code for programmers along with numerous support materials for educators. A landmark revision, Algorithms in C, Third Edition, Part 5 provides a complete tool set for programmers to implement, debug, and use graph algorithms across a wide range of computer applications.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Robert Sedgewick is certainly well known to all people involved in the development of algorithms form different fields as an author of a number of books about algorithmic methods and data structures. And I am sure that we all appreciate this work because one simply needs all the time a reference to look up not only how one can solve a probem algorithmic but also how one can do this in an efficient way.This book provides a good overview of algorithms dealing with graphs but the problem is that the connection between the given source code in C and its general exlanation failed. It is clear, that a solution to a problem does not depend on the underlying programing language, hence, Sedgewick’s book is anyway not intened to do this otherwise it would wear another title. On the other hand, an algorithm without general explanation brings not much.I think this book has a conceptual problem. None is interested in preimplemented code, because one normaly has a certain problem the algorithm has to be adapted. In general, this book is better then nothing but far from being a complete source of information concerning the functioning of the algorithms.

⭐The absolute best Algorithm book.I’ve completed Robert Sedgewick’s course on Coursera, which was based on Java, and now that I’ve switched to C++ I decided to try the same author and, for the most part, same course, but in C++, which should also help me improve my C++ skills. I’d say – it was a good decision.

⭐The book is an excellent resource to learn graph algorithms and see them actually implemented in code. Everyday my skills as a programmer are increasing thanks to this book.

⭐Very good, good examples and very clarified explanations, i will recommend it to everyone on the area of graph theory and computer science

⭐Nearly new book, very good. Most important is the price!!! very fair price for a great used book. I love it.

⭐Great book!

⭐Good quality

⭐I am not going to give you an amazing review here. All I can do is help “up” the score of this book, because it has been lowered by other reviews which are not even reviews of previous editions of this book (there are none!). Actually, several (if not most), are of this nature. Others are even worse, for they are reviews of previous editions of Parts I-IV, for the version in C! The new 3rd edition for the first volume is much better, and the book featured in this page: Volume II of Sedgewick’s Algorithms in C++, is really good too.Just a few things I want to say:-The book is not hard to read (I am an Ecuadorian, living in Ecuador, first language is Spanish, and even then, I can understand the author very well).-The explanations are amazing. Not only that, but Sedgewick really gives you loads of insight on all the topics covered.-Even with little mathematical content, one can understand rather well the complexity of all algorithms (and data structure implementations) in this book.-Perfect as a Reference. Sections are small, and one can jump in at any time.-Plenty of (incredible) exercises-Implementations are actually very good, very readable. Sure, the Author may not have the best of programming practices, but any reader programming in C++ should read Effective C++ anyways. If you dislike the fact that variables are often not given the best of names, rest assured that the author, more often than not, explains their nature.

⭐Excellent
