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. 606 $aAlgorithms 606 $aSoftware engineering 606 $aAlgorithm Analysis and Problem Complexity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I16021 606 $aAlgorithms$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M14018 606 $aSoftware Engineering/Programming and Operating Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I14002 615 0$aAlgorithms. 615 0$aSoftware engineering. 615 14$aAlgorithm Analysis and Problem Complexity. 615 24$aAlgorithms. 615 24$aSoftware Engineering/Programming and Operating Systems. 676 $a005.1 700 $aFerragina$b Paolo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$066343 702 $aLuccio$b Fabrizio$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299350503321 996 $aComputational Thinking$92289008 997 $aUNINA
