This multivolume work is widely recognized as the definitive description of classical computer science. The first three volumes have for decades been an invaluable resource in programming theory and practice for students, researchers, and practitioners alike. The bible of all fundamental algorithms and the work that taught many of today's software developers most of what they know about computer programming. --Byte, September 1995 Countless readers have spoken about the profound personal influence of Knuth's work. Scientists have marveled at the beauty and elegance of his analysis, while ordinary programmers have successfully applied his "cookbook" solutions to their day-to-day problems. All have admired Knuth for the breadth, clarity, accuracy, and good humor found in his books. I can't begin to tell you how many pleasurable hours of study and recreation they have afforded me! I have pored over them in cars, restaurants, at work, at home! and even at a Little League game when my son wasn't in the line-up. --Charles Long Primarily written as a reference, some people have nevertheless found it possible and interesting to read each volume from beginning to end.A programmer in China even compared the experience to reading a poem. If you think you're a really good programmer! read [Knuth's] Art of Computer Programming! You should definitely send me a resume if you can read the whole thing. --Bill Gates Whatever your background, if you need to do any serious computer programming, you will find your own good reason to make each volume in this series a readily accessible part of your scholarly or professional library. It's always a pleasure when a problem is hard enough that you have to get the Knuths off the shelf. I find that merely opening one has a very useful terrorizing effect on computers. --Jonathan Laventhol For the first time in more than 20 years, Knuth has revised all three books to reflect more recent developments in the field. His revisions focus specifically on those areas where knowledge has converged since publication of the last editions, on problems that have been solved, on problems that have changed. In keeping with the authoritative character of these books, all historical information about previous work in the field has been updated where necessary.Consistent with the author's reputation for painstaking perfection, the rare technical errors in his work, discovered by perceptive and demanding readers, have all been corrected. Hundreds of new exercises have been added to raise new challenges. 0201485419B04062001

《算法导论》自第一版出版以来，已经成为世界范围内广泛使用的大学教材和专业人员的标准参考手册。 这本书全面论述了算法的内容，从一定深度上涵盖了算法的诸多方面，同时其讲授和分析方法又兼顾了各个层次读者的接受能力。各章内容自成体系，可作为独立单元学习。所有算法都用英文和伪码描述，使具备初步编程经验的人也可读懂。全书讲解通俗易懂，且不失深度和数学上的严谨性。第二版增加了新的章节，如算法作用、概率分析与随机算法、线性编程等，几乎对第一版的各个部分都作了大量修订。

在有关算法的书中，有一些叙述非常严谨，但不够全面；另一些涉及了大量的题材，但又缺乏严谨性。本书将严谨性和全面性融为一体，深入讨论各类算法，并着力使这些算法的设计和分析能为各个层次的读者接受。全书各章自成体系，可以作为独立的学习单元；算法以英语和伪代码的形式描述，具备初步程序设计经验的人就能看懂；说明和解释力求浅显易懂，不失深度和数学严谨性。 全书选材经典、内容丰富、结构合理、逻辑清晰，对本科生的数据结构课程和研究生的算法课程都是非常实用的教材，在IT专业人员的职业生涯中，本书也是一本案头必备的参考书或工程实践手册。 第3版的主要变化： 新增了van Emde Boas树和多线程算法，并且将矩阵基础移至附录。 修订了递归式（现在称为“分治策略”）那一章的内容，更广泛地覆盖分治法。 移除两章很少讲授的内容：二项堆和排序网络。 修订了动态规划和贪心算法相关内容。 流网络相关材料现在基于边上的全部流。 由于关于矩阵基础和Strassen算法的材料移到了其他章，矩阵运算这一章的内容所占篇幅更小。 修改了对Knuth-Morris-Pratt字符串匹配算法的讨论。 新增100道练习和28道思考题，还更新并补充了参考文献。
