Introduction to Algorithms, fourth edition

<b>A comprehensive update of the leading algorithms text, with new material on matchings in bipartite graphs, online algorithms, machine learning, and other topics.</b><br><br>Some books on algorithms are rigorous but incomplete; others cover masses of material but lack rigor. <i>Introduction to Algorithms</i> uniquely combines rigor and comprehensiveness. It covers a broad range of algorithms in depth, yet makes their design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers, with self-contained chapters and algorithms in pseudocode. Since the publication of the first edition, <i>Introduction to Algorithms</i> has become the leading algorithms text in universities worldwide as well as the standard reference for professionals.
