Algorithms, Fourth Edition: Book and 24-Part Lecture Series

The best course about algorithms I know. As other reviews say the book has thin pages and you can partly see through them. But that's just how the publisher handled the book size. There are about 1000 pages, if each one was thicker the book would be heavier and harder to work with. Note that the book you'll receive will have red cover (as in the product without the video lectures), not blue (as on this product's page). Anyway, here is something that other reviews don't explain - how to get access to the videos. On the packaging there is ISBN number that you need to use to register your product on Informit.com. Supposedly when you register the book the site is to ask you a question that will be a proof of purchase. In my case the site didn't ask me anything. So I contacted Informit.com support, they asked to provide the proof of purchase (like amazon order number and a screenshot). After that I got a digital code for Informit.com that grants you access to the video lectures. Hope this helps! =)

The book is great, excellent content. Dr Sedgewick explanations are delightful. if you're diving deep in Algorithms understanding it help you a lot. It helped me a lot on my master's degree studies. But my personal advice is, you better don't buy this book from Amazon, the promised access to the video lectures is not provided. I thought in buying (the most expensive) deluxe version only because of the lectures but ended up receiving a standard version instead, see pictures attached. So, my lesson was, do not buy the book from Amazon better do it from the publisher web page. Even if I return this book from my country, it's so expensive to return the item and then buy again the deluxe version.

I agree with great review posts that this is a great book and series of videos with diagrams is awesome. Have a question though, how did you guys got the access code to redeem the videos from informit.com web site? Could someone help?

If you like computer science, and if you want to know more about how of the most popular algorithms are based, then you have the best book available. You maybe think it's a little bit expensive, but totally worth it!

This is a great book on algorithms for anyone who would like to learn how computers actually work and how to better their own understanding of the algorithms that can improve their own code and programming. This is a great book for the average algorithm designer.

Never received the additional materials, and book color did not match that pictured.

The book is great. But the access to the video lectures is used by previous owner of the book. I bought this deluxe version only because of the lectures but obviously I do not get it. So my lesson is that do not buy a used copy of this deluxe version. Instead, buy the standard version.

Very good pictorial illustrations of algorithms. Great book.

Excellent book.
