Mark Allen Weiss provides a proven approach to algorithms and data structures using the exciting Java programming language as the implementation tool. With Java he highlights conceptual topics, focusing on ADTs and the analysis of algorithms for efficiency as well as performance and running time. Dr. Weiss also distinguishes this text with a logical organization of topics, his engaging writing style and an extensive use of figures and examples showing the successive stages of an algorithm. Included are algorithm and design techniques and amortized analysis, plus a new chapter on advanced data structures and their implementation.
