Features:

  • ONE-OF-A-KIND, CONTEMPORARY APPROACH INTEGRATES TREATMENT OF SEQUENTIAL AND PARALLEL ALGORITHMS. To prepare students to develop efficient software for today’s multiprocessor computers, this unique book provides an integrated approach to the presentation of sequential and parallel algorithms and paradigms.
  • LENGTH IS IDEAL FOR SINGLE-SEMESTER UNDERGRADUATE OR GRADUATE STUDY OF ALGORITHMS. Rather than adopting an encyclopedic approach to sequential algorithms, this text concentrates on key sequential and parallel algorithms with a focused brevity that is ideal for a thorough, yet manageable, one-semester course.
  • EMPHASIS ON PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS PREPARES READERS TO UTILIZE SKILLS. This book thoroughly explores practical applications of algorithms as the authors present efficient methods for solving critical problems in computational geometry, image processing, graph theory, and scientific computing.
  • EARLY EMPHASIS ON KEY MATHEMATICAL SKILLS AND TOOLS PREPARES READERS FOR SUCCESS THROUGHOUT THE COURSE. The authors intentionally develop and focus on mathematical tools throughout early chapters to ensure the solid foundation undergraduate and graduate students need for future endeavors.
