From the Back Cover

Mark Allen Weiss provides a proven approach to algorithms and data structures using the exciting Java programming language as the implementation tool. With Java he highlights conceptual topics, focusing on ADTs and the analysis of algorithms for efficiency as well as performance and running time. Dr. Weiss also distinguishes this text with a logical organization of topics, his engaging writing style, and an extensive use of figures and examples showing the successive stages of an algorithm.

Features
  • Contains extensive sample code using Java 1.2, which is available over the Internet.
  • Covers the Java Collections Library in an appendix.
  • Includes a chapter on algorithm and design techniques that covers greedy algorithms, divide-and-conquer algorithms, dynamic programming,
  • randomized algorithms, and backtracking.
  • Presents current topics and new data structures such as Fibonacci heaps, skew heaps, binomial queues, skip lists, and splay trees.
  • Offers a chapter on amortized analysis that examines the advanced data structures presented earlier in the book.
  • Provides a chapter on advanced data structures and their implementation, covering red-black trees, top-down splay trees, treaps, k-d trees, pairing heaps, and more.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good for professors, bad for students, Nov 23 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in Java (Hardcover)
All of the practical algorithms are left as un-answered exercises! Great in depth discussion of introductory algorithms, but very few examples, mostly pseudo-code.

INFURIATING FOR INDEPENDENT STUDY, but good if you have a professor to explain everything as you go.

2.0 out of 5 stars somewhat useless, May 22 2002
This review is from: Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in Java (Hardcover)
This book is next to useless, because of its superficial approach to almost any topic it covers. You would be hard-pressed to find a single data structure, clearly presented and explained conceptually and with examples. Many times the author would skip on the concept and would attempt to explain to you something, from the start based on examples, which would be represented by the start point and the end point with no explanation in between.

I would understand if the author would omit some topics based on the premise that students should already know them, but instead he chooses to contain everything( and as a result contain nothing in particular).

On the other hand in more "advanced" topic sections it is not unusual to find statements of the sort "beyond the scope of this book". Which leads me (and many others) to ask, what is the scope of this book?

2.0 out of 5 stars Data Structures & Algorithm Analysis in Java, Aug 27 2001
By 
"glynnethomas" (New Orleans, La United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in Java (Hardcover)
I give this book only 2 stars. This book is not for students taking their first course in data structures. However, I first encountered it as a required text for an introductory Data Structures course that I took. This book is not an easy nor an enjoyable read. It does not contain nearly enough visual aides i.e., graphics, screen shots, diagrams to help a reader develop a mental image of abstract data structures. It is far too technical to be used as an introductory text to Data Structures. It is a colorless, lifeless presentation of a subject that actually can be quite fun and interesting. How can a book on Data Structure be fun or interesting...Please see my review of "Data Structures And Algorithms in Java" by Robert LaFore. Mr. Lafore's book is OUTSTANDING! It has great graphics, simple explanations, a great Table of Contents, and Index. I bought it and it was instrumental in my getting a "A" in the course. I recommend you buy it instead of Mr. Weiss's product.
