Mastering Algorithms with Python

Gain a solid understanding of algorithms and improve your problem-solving abilities using Python code. With practical examples and clear explanations, this book bridges the gap between dense academic texts and overly simple industry guides. Focusing on the logic behind essential algorithms such as Breadth First Search (BFS), Depth First Search (DFS), Divide-and-Conquer, Greedy Methods, and Dynamic Programming, the book provides ample examples, from easy to more advanced. By connecting these concepts to real-world examples, such as chess strategies and the Seam Carving, the book helps readers better grasp and apply algorithms. Each chapter also includes fully implemented Python code, making it a practical reference. Mastering Algorithms with Python is ideal for IT professionals looking to enhance their skills and approach algorithms with clarity and confidence.
