There are three large categories of readers who should be interested in this book: Solving algorithmic puzzles is the most productive and definitely most enjoyable way to develop and strengthen one’s algorithmic thinking skills. It is true, however, that the proliferation of computers has made algorithmic problem solving important in many areas of modern life, from hard and soft sciences to art and entertainment. Some algorithmic puzzles predate computers by more than a thousand years. To promote development of high-level algorithmic thinking (with no computer programming), supported by a carefully developed list of general algorithm design strategies and analysis techniques Although algorithms do constitute the cornerstone of computer science and no sensible computer programming is possible without them, it is a common misconception to equate the two.To entertain a wide range of readers interested in puzzles.It also contains newer examples, some of which have been asked during job interviews at major companies. The book includes some old classics, which have become a part of mathematics and computer science folklore. It is a unique collection of such puzzles. WHAT IS THIS BOOK ABOUT?
