This logic extends far beyond the realm of computer science and into the wide and entertaining world of puzzles. In Algorithmic Puzzles, Anany and Maria Levitin use many classic brainteasers as well as newer examples from job interviews with major corporations to show readers how to apply analytical thinking to solve puzzles requiring well-defined procedures. The book's unique collection of puzzles is supplemented with carefully developed tutorials on algorithm design strategies and analysis techniques intended to walk the reader step-by-step through the various approaches to algorithmic problem solving.
Mastery of these strategies-exhaustive search, backtracking, and divide-and-conquer, among others-will aid the reader in solving not only the puzzles contained in this book, but also others encountered in interviews, puzzle collections, and throughout everyday life. Each of the 150 puzzles contains hints and solutions, along with commentary on the puzzle's origins and solution methods. The only book of its kind, Algorithmic Puzzles houses puzzles for all skill levels. Readers with only middle school mathematics will develop their algorithmic problem-solving skills through puzzles at the elementary level, while seasoned puzzle solvers will enjoy the challenge of thinking through more difficult puzzles. Author by: Clifford A. PickoverLanguange: enPublisher by: Princeton University PressFormat Available: PDF, ePub, MobiTotal Read: 61Total Download: 486File Size: 54,8 MbDescription: Humanity's love affair with mathematics and mysticism reached a critical juncture, legend has it, on the back of a turtle in ancient China.
As Clifford Pickover briefly recounts in this enthralling book, the most comprehensive in decades on magic squares, Emperor Yu was supposedly strolling along the Yellow River one day around 2200 B.C. When he spotted the creature: its shell had a series of dots within squares. To Yu's amazement, each row of squares contained fifteen dots, as did the columns and diagonals.
When he added any two cells opposite along a line through the center square, like 2 and 8, he always arrived at 10. The turtle, unwitting inspirer of the 'Yu' square, went on to a life of courtly comfort and fame. Pickover explains why Chinese emperors, Babylonian astrologer-priests, prehistoric cave people in France, and ancient Mayans of the Yucatan were convinced that magic squares-arrays filled with numbers or letters in certain arrangements-held the secret of the universe. Since the dawn of civilization, he writes, humans have invoked such patterns to ward off evil and bring good fortune. Yet who would have guessed that in the twenty-first century, mathematicians would be studying magic squares so immense and in so many dimensions that the objects defy ordinary human contemplation and visualization? Readers are treated to a colorful history of magic squares and similar structures, their construction, and classification along with a remarkable variety of newly discovered objects ranging from ornate inlaid magic cubes to hypercubes. Illustrated examples occur throughout, with some patterns from the author's own experiments.
The tesseracts, circles, spheres, and stars that he presents perfectly convey the age-old devotion of the math-minded to this Zenlike quest. Number lovers, puzzle aficionados, and math enthusiasts will treasure this rich and lively encyclopedia of one of the few areas of mathematics where the contributions of even nonspecialists count.
.Introduction to the Design and Analysis of Algorithms, 3rd Edition. DescriptionBased on a new classification of algorithm design techniques and a clear delineation of analysis methods, Introduction to the Design and Analysis of Algorithmspresents the subject in a coherent and innovative manner. Written in a student-friendly style, the book emphasizes the understanding of ideas over excessively formal treatment while thoroughly covering the material required in an introductory algorithms course. Popular puzzles are used to motivate students' interest and strengthen their skills in algorithmic problem solving. Other learning-enhancement features include chapter summaries, hints to the exercises, and a detailed solution manual. Employs an innovative and more comprehensive taxonomy of algorithm design techniques.

Exercises and engaging puzzles.
The most important change in this edition is the new order of the chapters on decrease-and-conquer and divide-and-conquer. There are several advantages in introducing decrease-and-conquer before divide-and-conquer:. Decrease-and-conquer is a simpler strategy than divide-and-conquer. Decrease-and-conquer is applicable to more problems than divide-and-conquer. The new order makes it possible to discuss insertion sort before mergesort and quicksort. The idea of array partitioning is now introduced in conjunction with the selection problem. The author took advantage of an opportunity to do this via the one-directional scan employed by Lomuto’s algorithm, leaving the two-directional scan used by Hoare’s partitioning to a later discussion in conjunction with quicksort.
Binary search is now considered in the section devoted to decrease-by-aconstant-factor algorithms, where it belongs. The second important change is restructuring of Chapter 8 on dynamic programming. Specifically:. The introductory section is completely new. Table of ContentsNew to the Third Edition xviiPreface xix1Introduction 11.1 What Is an Algorithm?
