Programmers use algorithms and data structures all the time, usually through numerous available APIs. Ideally an algorithm is correct, easy to understand, applicable to many problems, efficient, and free of intellectual property claims. This book covers algorithms and data structures learned in an algorithms class and many that aren't, including statistical algorithms, external memory algorithms, numerical methods, optimization, string algorithms, and data compression.
About a fourth of the book is devoted to machine learning. There is much more theory than in the rest of the book because in machine learning relevant theory is more practical than algorithms. New learning algorithms are proposed often, and it's easy to get lost without understanding how learning actually works. In particular, getting comfortable with the concept of estimation error substantially improves the ability to reason about statistical algorithms.
Another fourth is about numerical algorithms. Separate chapters cover matrix algorithms (such as eigenvalue calculation for spectral clustering), working with functions (integration, root finding, etc.), and optimization (both continuous and convex).
Expect to learn something new in every chapter. Many topics appear only in specialized books and papers, including collections of random number generators and hash functions for various use cases, priority queues that allow random access for applications like Djikstra's shortest path algorithm, the simplex method for linear programming, efficient dictionaries for variable-length keys, Monte Carlo and bootstrap methods for statistical computing, top-performing learning algorithms such as random forest, etc. One of the goals of the book is answering all questions you might have had since taking an algorithms class.
Algorithm descriptions have tested C++ code, illustrations, performance analysis, and suggestions for optimizations and extensions. Still, the book is advanced, requiring some algorithmic maturity. After working through it, you will know more about algorithms and machine learning than before, even if you are already an expert. This is the book the author wishes he had when he started studying algorithms.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
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 Bay Books, Bradwell on Sea, Essex, United Kingdom, 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:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
