| Summary: | This first volume begins with basic programming concepts and techniques, then focuses on information structures--the representation of information inside a computer, the structural relationships between data elements and how to deal with them efficiently. Elementary applications are given to simulation, numerical methods, symbolic computing, software and system design.
The second volume offers a complete introduction to the field of seminumerical algorithms, with separate chapters on random numbers and arithmetic. The book summarizes the major paradigms and basic theory of such algorithms, thereby providing a comprehensive interface between computer programming and numerical analysis.
The third volume comprises the most comprehensive survey of classical computer techniques for sorting and searching. It extends the treatment of data structures in Volume I to consider both large and small databases and internal and external memories.
The fourth volume introduces techniques that allow computers to deal efficiently with gigantic problems. Its coverage begins with Boolean functions and bitwise tricks and techniques, then treats in depth the generation of all tuples and permutations, all combinations and partitions, and all trees. --from publisher's description.
