1381Algorithmic puzzles
The book's unique collection of puzzles is supplemented with carefully developed tutorials on algorithm design strategies and analysis techniques intended to walk the reader step-by-step through the various approaches to algorithmic problem solving.Each of the 150 puzzles contains hints and solutions, along with commentary on the puzzle's origins and solution methods.
1382Algorithms
This book is an introduction to algorithms targeting an audience with little to no computer science background. In this book, algorithms from a wide area are presented: from music to searching and sorting, to deep learning, to graphs. The author shows how algorithms are used in practice. The book aims to show not just what algorithms can do, but how they do it. Louridas covers a wide range of algorithms. He does not shy away from classic algorithms such as searching and sorting, as they are the workhorses of most applications; at the same time, he also covers a wide expanse, such as algorithms in music, non-traditional searching (like the secretary problem), graphs, and the PageRank algorithm.
1383Algorithms : 4th ed.
This book surveys the most important computer algorithms currently in use and provides a full treatment of data structures and algorithms for sorting, searching, graph processing, and string processing--including fifty algorithms every programmer should know. In this edition, new Java implementations are written in an accessible modular programming style, where all of the code is exposed to the reader and ready to use.
1384Algorithms and networking for computer games : 2nd ed.
Algorithms and Networking for Computer Games, Second Edition: Provides algorithmic solutions in pseudo-code format, which emphasises the idea behind the solution, and can easily be written into a programming language of choice; Features a section on the Synthetic player, covering decision-making, influence maps, finite-state machines, flocking, fuzzy sets, and probabilistic reasoning and noise generation; Contains in-depth treatment of network communication, including dead-reckoning, local perception filters, cheating prevention and on-line metrics Now includes 73 ready-to-use algorithms and 247 illustrative exercises.
1385Algorithms for decision making
Part 1. P︣︣robabilistic reasoning; Part 2. Sequential problems; Part 3. Model uncertainty; Part 4. State uncertainty; Part 5. Multiagent systems.
1386Algorithms in a nutshell
Algorithms in a Nutshell describes a large number of existing algorithms for solving a variety of problems, and helps you select and implement the right algorithm for your needs -- with just enough math to let you understand and analyze algorithm performance. Focusing on application, rather than theory, this book provides efficient code solutions in several programming languages that you can easily adapt to a specific project. Each major algorithm is presented in the style of a design pattern that includes information to help you understand why and when the algorithm is appropriate.
1387Algorithms, data structures, and problem solving with C++
Providing a complete discussion of time complexity and Big Oh notation early in the text. Gives the instructor flexibility in choosing an appropriate balance between practice, theory, and level of C++ detail. Contains optional advanced material in Part V.
1388Aliens : the original years omnibus : vol 2
Explore new worlds of terror! A rogue scientist’s genetic experiments create a horrific new alien king! A ragtag unit of Colonial Marines battles a xenomorph infestation on a space station — and the survivors face a pack of bizarre hybrids! An investigator must solve a murder on a deep-space alien-research station! But what dread music will a deranged composer make with an alien’s screams?
