The ISBN 9780131103627 refers to the book "Algorithms and Data Structures" by Niklaus Wirth. This seminal work, first published in 1986, is a foundational text in computer science, offering a comprehensive introduction to the design and analysis of algorithms and data structures. Wirth, a Turing Award laureate, presents concepts with a focus on clarity and rigor, emphasizing the importance of efficient and well-structured code. The book covers essential topics such as sorting, searching, graph algorithms, and various data structures like lists, trees, and hash tables. It also delves into algorithmic complexity, introducing Big O notation for analyzing the performance of algorithms. The book is known for its elegant and concise explanations, often using Pascal as a pseudocode language to illustrate programming constructs. "Algorithms and Data Structures" has been a widely adopted textbook in university computer science programs and remains a valuable resource for students and practitioners seeking a deep understanding of these core computer science principles. Its enduring relevance lies in its clear exposition of fundamental concepts that are crucial for building efficient and scalable software systems.
