An introduction to algorithms for readers with no background in advanced mathematics or computer science, emphasizing examples and real-world problems.Algorithms are what we do in order not to have to do something. Algorithms consist of instructions to carry out tasks--usually dull, repetitive ones. Starting from simple building blocks, computer algorithms enable machines to recognize and produce speech, translate texts, categorize and summarize documents, describe images, and predict the weather. A task that would take hours can be completed in virtually no time by using a few lines of code in a modern scripting program. This book offers an introduction to algorithms through the real-world problems they solve. The algorithms are presented in pseudocode and can readily be implemented in a computer language.The book presents algorithms simply and accessibly,
