Grokking Algorithms

Learn how to apply common algorithms to practical programming problems in this fully-illustrated and engaging guide. Grokking Algorithms is a disarming take on a core computer science topic that makes it easy to understand and use algorithms effectively in your own programs. You'll start with simple problems like sorting and searching, then build up your skills to address more complex concerns such as data compression and artificial intelligence. Each example includes helpful diagrams and fully-annotated code samples in Python. By the end, you'll know some of the most widely applicable algorithms and how to use them.
