The Algorithm Design Manual

Steven Skiena · 2020 (3rd ed.) · 793 pp.

What it does

Half textbook, half catalog. The catalog half is the magic — given a problem, find the closest classic algorithm and where its implementations live.

Who should read it

Working engineers who need to "find the right algorithm" rather than re-derive one from first principles.
