content: I am 3rd year undergraduate student and just finished taking a class that requires this book. This book was so unhelpful in trying to do assignments or even understand the text. As a matter of fact you will be in chapter 8 trying to reference an algorithm in chapter 1. You end up spending to much time trying to find information that is not even in this book.This book is GARBAGE!!!!! If your professor requires this book. Drop the class immediately!!!! I feel this book is an insult to any professor who teaches Design and Analysis of Algorithms!!!Someone needs to ask the authors if we all can have our money back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
