Title: From Serious Student: Badly explained
Review: I'm a serious graduate student, I'm pretty good at discrete math and I've also programmed (in Ruby) every fundamental data structure and algorithm from Algorithms 4/E by Robert Sedgewick and solved about 50% of the 'hard' exercises from that book.I took a CS class that uses this book this semester; and I can tell you that subjects are badly explained. The explanations are not clear.I bought Cormen's Book, and that one treats every subject with better form. The only reason I need this book is because my teacher directs us to exercises from this book, otherwise I would not use it for my class, as I can learn anything with more ease from Cormen's book.Recomendation: Buy Cormen's book instead of this one. If you need the exercises, ask your colleagues for them, and use Cormen's book to understand how to solve them.
