Title: Not easy to understand
Review: Although there is some great analysis of algorithms in this text, the text does not do a very good job of TEACHING one how to perform the analysis. I really did not like the fact that answers to the exercises are not available anywhere. I learn best by seeing examples done step by step and this book does not provide any solutions or even offer a separate solutions text. The authors seem to feel that the instructor should provide solutions, well I don't know about other Universities, but my professor does not provide solutions in class and the TAs are not very strong with this type of difficult material. Which leaves me to scour the Internet and other texts to try and understand the topics when I could have gained the same understanding by examining the solutions to the exercises.
