本书采用程序员最爱用的面向对象C+ +语言来描述数据结构和算法，并把数据结构原理和算法分析技术有机地结合在一起，系统介绍了各种类型的数据结构和排序、检索的各种方法。作者非常注意对每一种数据结构不同存储方法及有关算法进行分析比较。书中还引入了一些比较高级的数据结构与先进的算法分析技术，并介绍了可计算性理论的一般知识。本版的重要改进在于引入了参数化的模板，从而提高了算法中数据类型的通用性，支持高效的代码重用。本书概念清楚、逻辑性强、内容新颖，可作为大专院校计算机软件专业与计算机应用专业学生的教材和参考书，也可供计算机工程技术人员参考。

The latest edition of this classic is updated with new problem sets and material The Second Edition of this fundamental textbook maintains the book's tradition of clear, thought-provoking instruction. Readers are provided once again with an instructive mix of mathematics, physics, statistics, and information theory. All the essential topics in information theory are covered in detail, including entropy, data compression, channel capacity, rate distortion, network information theory, and hypothesis testing. The authors provide readers with a solid understanding of the underlying theory and applications. Problem sets and a telegraphic summary at the end of each chapter further assist readers. The historical notes that follow each chapter recap the main points. The Second Edition features: * Chapters reorganized to improve teaching * 200 new problems * New material on source coding, portfolio theory, and feedback capacity * Updated references Now current and enhanced, the Second Edition of Elements of Information Theory remains the ideal textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in electrical engineering, statistics, and telecommunications. An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available from the Wiley editorial department.

This course is offered to undergraduates and is an elementary discrete mathematics course oriented towards applications in computer science and engineering. Topics covered include: formal logic notation, induction, sets and relations, permutations and combinations, counting principles, and discrete probability.
