This is the thoroughly revised and updated edition of the text that helped establish computer algorithms as a discipline of computer science. Using the popular object-oriented language C++, the text incorporates the latest research and state-of-the-art applications, bringing this classic to the forefront of modern computer science education. A major strength of this text is its focus on design techniques rather than on individual algorithms. The second edition of Computer Algorithms/C++ emphasizes:

• Design techniques: Divide and conquer, the greedy method, dynamic programming, backtracking and branch and bound are illustrated with several examples. Each algorithm is completely analyzed.
• Examples: A wide range of examples provides students with the actual implementation of correct design.
• The latest research: A thorough treatment of probabilistic and parallel algorithms is included.
• Full integration of randomized algorithms: Performance with nonrandomized algorithms is thoroughly compared. Computer Algorithms/C++ is appropriate as a core text for upper- and graduate-level courses in algorithms.
