Ask HN: Looking for a dense book on algorithms 1 points by sedeki 11y ago ↗ HN All my books on algorithms are pretty wordy and I'd like some recommendations on good algorithm books that are quite dense and to the point. Thank you.
[–] oldbuzzard 11y ago ↗ OK. So Cormen's "Intro to Algorithms"[1] or Knuth[2].., but be prepared to be gobsmacked and have a graduate level math background...[1] http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Algorithms-Edition-Thomas...[2] http://www.amazon.com/Computer-Programming-Volumes-1-4A-Boxe... [–] oldbuzzard 11y ago ↗ On the other hand if you like wordy, I would quite recommend "Compared to What"[1] by Rawlins...[1] http://www.amazon.com/Compared-What-Introduction-Algorithms-...
