|  | | Mastering Algorithms with Perl | | | Description: Mastering Algorithms with Perl | | Written for readers with at least some Perl programming experience, Mastering Algorithms in Perl delivers a solid library of algorithms written in Perl for business and mathematical computing. From data structures to cryptography and more advanced mathematical algorithms, this book provides a worthwhile guide to extending Perl's coding capabilities.
The best thing about Mastering Algorithms in Perl is the scope at which it covers the universe of algorithms while refraining from getting bogged down in academic detail. Besides basic data structures--a lynchpin of books on algorithms--the authors provide dozens and dozens of algorithms for sorting, searching, and doing mathematical computations of all kinds. While they discuss "Big-O" notation and assume a general familiarity with math, they don't overwhelm the reader. (You can even borrow the code without needing a math degree to understand it.) The focus is on efficient, reusable Perl subroutines written and compiled by three Perl experts. | | Information:: Mastering Algorithms with Perl | | Title: | Mastering Algorithms with Perl | | Author: | John Macdonald, Jon Orwant, Jarkko Hietaniemi | | Price / Cost: | US$ 34.95 | | Last Updated: | Mon May 13 2002 | | Home Page: | Click to Visit | | Pages: | 684 | | Book Edition: | July 1999 | | ISBN Number: | 1565923987 | | Book Publisher: | O'Reilly & Associates | | Current Rating: | 0.00 | | Total Hits #: | 107 | | Listings ID #: | 160 | | Reviews for Mastering Algorithms with Perl | |  |
