Title: Good general book
Review: Pros:- Good general book for basic algorithm stuff.- Tons of basic algorithms.- Thorough in proofs.- Very easy to follow once in case you have enough Math background (by either being a grad student or else if undergrad, read the first few chapters as well as Appendices well in advance to the course (Spend time solving the exercises and get familiar with the notation etc. before taking the course)Cons:-- I don't consider it a good idea to write algorithms with index starting from 1 instead of 0? Most popular languages used in the industry, have arrays starting from zero.- Most professors that I have discussed it with agree that this is not the best book for the subject but probably the only one with this much material in it.
