Parallel Processing and Parallel Algorithms: Theory and ...
hmm: cons: 1. At least in the first printing, the book is loaded with mistakes that could have been caught by even a bad job of editing. The layout isn't too good either, which can make some things hard to read - the author could have used TeX like [... more]

Approximation Algorithms
No approximations, this is THE optimal book!: I have been using Dorit Hochbaum's book on approximation algorithms for NP-Hard problems as a guideline for my work. Hochbaum's book is, without a doubt, terrific. However, the survey format compromised a [... more]

Jewels of Stringology: Text Algorithms
nice book: The book is an excellent presentation of algorithms on the conceptual level and avoids implementation details. This does not mean that it has no practical value. The understanding and simplification of an algorithm is the first main step [... more]

Combinatorial Optimization: Theory and Algorithms
Useful yet dense!: This is the most comprehensive compilation on combinatorial optiomization I have seen so far. Usually, Papadimitriou's book is a good place for this material - but in many cases, looking for proofs and theorems - I had to use several [... more]

Discrete Tomography: Foundations, Algorithms, and ...
an engineer's view: Each chapter in the book is by different authors and so the level of detail, notation, etc. is uneven. The chapters are more than just reprints of previous materials and are self-contained. The early foundation chapters are written [... more]
