The book is suitable for undergraduate students in computer science, engineering, and applied mathematics, university students in other fields, high-school students with an interest in STEM subjects, and professionals who want an insight into algorithmic solutions and the related mindset. While the authors assume only basic mathematical knowledge, they uphold the scientific rigor that is indispensable for transforming general ideas into executable algorithms. A supporting website contains examples and Python code for implementing the algorithms in the book.AlgorithmsSoftware engineeringAlgorithm Analysis and Problem Complexityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I16021Algorithmshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14018Software Engineering/Programming and Operating Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I14002Algorithms.Software engineering.Algorithm Analysis and Problem Complexity.Algorithms.Software Engineering/Programming and Operating Systems.005.1Ferragina Paoloauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut66343Luccio Fabrizioauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299350503321Computational Thinking2289008UNINA
