For many applications, a randomized algorithm is either the simplest or the fastest algorithm available, and sometimes both. This book introduces the basic concepts in the design and analysis of randomized algorithms. The first part of the text presents basic tools such as probability theory and probabilistic analysis that are frequently used in algorithmic applications. Algorithmic examples are also given to illustrate the use of each tool in a concrete setting. In the second part of the book, each chapter focuses on an important area to which randomized algorithms can be applied, providing a comprehensive and representative selection of the algorithms that might be used in each of these areas. Although written primarily as a text for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this book should also prove invaluable as a reference for professionals and researchers.

Algorithm Design introduces algorithms by looking at the real-world problems that motivate them. The book teaches students a range of design and analysis techniques for problems that arise in computing applications. The text encourages an understanding of the algorithm design process and an appreciation of the role of algorithms in the broader field of computer science. August 6, 2009 Author, Jon Kleinberg, was recently cited in the New York Times for his statistical analysis research in the Internet age.

This text, extensively class-tested over a decade at UC Berkeley and UC San Diego, explains the fundamentals of algorithms in a story line that makes the material enjoyable and easy to digest. Emphasis is placed on understanding the crisp mathematical idea behind each algorithm, in a manner that is intuitive and rigorous without being unduly formal.

《算法概论(注释版)》源自加州大学伯克利分校和加州大学圣迭戈分校本科生的算法课讲义，以独特的视角展现了算法设计的精巧技术及魅力。在表达每一种技术时，强调每个算法背后的简洁数学思想，分析其时间和空间效率，运用与其他技术类比的方法来说明特征，并提供了大量实例。《算法概论(注释版)》以人类最古老的算法（算术运算）为起点，将各种算法中优美而有代表性的内容囊括书中，并以最前沿的理论（量子算法）结束，构成了较为完整的算法知识体系。
