Algorithms for Programmers
"This is the (work in progress) book "Algorithms for Programmers". Publication as soon as possible, content is (modulo copy editing) close to final version. I will put a remark here as soon as the printed version is available. The electronic version of this book is identical to the printed (to come) version. NOTE: It will always stay online for free anonymous download. Your feedback is appreciated."
