本文对比了两本算法书籍：经典的《算法导论》(CLRS)和由S.D., C.H.P., U.V.V.合著的《算法》。《算法导论》适合理论计算机科学领域的专业人士，而后者则更偏向于初学者和工程师，使用易懂的语言讲解算法概念，并包含直观的推导过程。文章还提到了量子计算这一章节。

As a CS lover, I guess you must have read CLRS, maybe 2nd version, or even 3rd version. Unless you are a Math fan, you may find it too theoretical, and probably you were abashed by its tons of Math details. I think CLRS is mainly for ones who intend to devote themselves into TCS(theoretical computer science). Also, the topics in CLRS are classic and traditional ones.

“Algorithms” by S. D., C.H. P., and U.V. V. is such a much less obscure book, for beginners and engineers. It is using a beginner friendly language to convey profound algorithm concepts, procedures and even history stories. Unlike CLRS, the derivations of an algorithm, lemma & theory are in a very “heuristic” & “intuitive” way – when you read its words line by line, you will get it. The last chapter attracts me a lot : Quantum Computing. But it is over briefly stated, in my opinion.

There’s eVersion online: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~vazirani/algorithms.html

P.S. However, if you possess solid determination and strong enthusiasm, CLRS is still the best choice :)
