Title: Badly written, typical MIT book
Review: Extremely thorough and pedantic but simply bad as a teacher. It does a bad job of explaining even simple algorithms, and in typical MIT style pompously views its subject like some sacred art. There is a huge amount of material here, much of which is off the subject of algorithms, and they think they are being clever calling it "an introduction". Some people might love such a mathematical monolith but it doesn't pay attention to the reader and instead becomes a pompous load of maths that lacks local coherence. As a reference it is useless because there is virtually no layout.
