This week’s Data Science Book is “ Introduction to Algorithms (4th edition) ” by T. M. Cormen, C. E. Leiderson, R. L. Rivest and C. Stein. This book is affectionately known as the bible of algorithms and over the years has proven to be an essential reading and, at over 1300 pages, a complete reference for anyone interested in gaining a broad understanding of algorithms. The content can at times be challenging but is presented in a fashion that is engaging and easily digestible. Exercises at the end of each chapter are expressly presented without the benefit of solutions but were carefully designed to help students to think algorithmically and thoroughly absorb the material presented.
