Review title: About as bad as it gets
Product review: This "introductory" text assumes considerable familiarity with the subject asymptotic complexity. In addition, the algorithms presented in the text are analyzed in an inconsistent manner and the general methodology used to present information is confusing. I've only completed half of the course (and the text) and already this textbook has proven to be one of the worst ones I've ever encountered. And this is overlooking the numerous typos. There are definitely better introductory books out there, use those instead.
