This book was written to fill the gap that exists when Computer Science students, and programmers, attempt to learn and analyze the different algorithms that currently exist. I took a course on Algorithms and was disappointed in the type of material that's currently available. There are two types of books that I kept running into:
1). First, the overly complex book. This book seems like it's designed for people that are already fluent in the topics and wanted a more detailed and mathematical approach to algorithms.
2). Second, the overly simple book. A basic introduction to algorithms. This is a high-level overview of some algorithms, and most complex algorithms are not mentioned. After completion, the person is still incapable of showing how the algorithm runs when a problem is presented.
This book is designed for undergraduate upper-class students and programmers that want to expand their horizon. It can be used as a supplementary book alongside the complex book. Readers will gain the knowledge necessary to solve those mathematically intensive algorithmic problems that were presented in the complex book.
Each chapter consists of a brief description of how the algorithm works followed by a detailed example or two. No steps are skipped during the traversal process. The reader is presented with a clear, simplified approach to solving the algorithm that the chapter is dedicated to. Each chapter follows a natural progression from the previous chapter. If certain algorithms rely heavily on prior knowledge, the previous chapter covers that topic. For example, Kruskal's algorithm relies heavily on prior knowledge of Minimum Spanning Trees and Greedy Algorithms. Each of those topics receives a chapter of its own.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Buchpark, Trebbin, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
