compared to what? covers all the basics of algorithm analysis but it does not just supply algorithms to memorize it lets you guide your students through the process of breaking down and solving aigolithmic problems. The invaluable analytic skills developed through this innovative approach will appiv to anj, programming assignmentno matter the size of the problem or the language and macnine used. The book does not assume a high degree of familiarity with discrete mathematicsin fact, all mathematical concepts crucial to algorithm analysis are explained in the appendices. Each chapter centers on a basic problem and works through a variety of available . options for its solution rather than declaring a single best answer. Within the chapters, carefully orchestrated. 'Pauses'helpful questions and strategy suggestionspoint students to workable solutions and to increasinglv more advanced variations and applications. Endofchapter 'Codas' restate each chapter's major themes and guide the transition into the next set of problems. Compared to What? will help students analyze problems, determine what needs to be optimized, and pinpoint inefficiencies and inaccuracies in their programs. Its friendlv but challenging style, inventive examples 'and analogies, descriptions of stateoftheart applications, and pragmatic focus will help you teach students to create algorithmic solutionsnot merely memorize them.
