Algorithms are fundamental to computer science
and software engineering. The real-world performance of any software system
depends on: (1) the algorithms chosen and (2) the suitability and efficiency of
the various layers of implementation. Good algorithm design is therefore
crucial for the performance of all software systems. Moreover, the study of
algorithms provides insight into the intrinsic nature of the problem as well as
possible solution techniques independent of programming language, programming
paradigm, computer hardware or any other implementation aspect.
