The Design and Analysis of Algorithms - Monographs in Computer Science Dexter C. Kozen Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st Ed. 1992 edition

Description for Sales People: The design and analysis of algorithms is one of the two essential cornerstone topics in computer science (the other being automata theory/theory of computation). Every computer scientist has a copy of Knuth's works on algorithms on his or her shelf. Dexter Kozen, a researcher and professor at Cornell University, has written a text for graduate study of algorithms.
