Algorithms for Interviews (AFI) aims to help engineers interviewing for software development positions. The primary focus of AFI is algorithm design. The entire book is presented through problems interspersed with discussions. The problems cover key concepts and are well-motivated, challenging, and fun to solve.
We do not emphasize platforms and programming languages since they dtffer across jobs, and can be acquired fairly easily Interviews at most large software companies focus more on algorithms, problem solving, and design skills than on specific domain knowledge. Also, platforms and programming languages can change quickly as requirements change but the qualities mentioned above will always be fundamental to any successful software endeavor. |

 Beginning Algorithms (Wrox Beginning Guides)Beginning Algorithms
A good understanding of algorithms, and the knowledge of when to apply them, is crucial to producing software that not only works correctly, but also performs efficiently. This is the only book to impart all this essential information—from the basics of algorithms, data structures, and performance characteristics to... | | Digital Dice: Computational Solutions to Practical Probability Problems"Paul Nahin's Digital Dice is a marvelous book, one that is even better than his Duelling Idiots. Nahin presents twenty-one great probability problems, from George Gamow's famous elevator paradox (as corrected by Donald Knuth) to a bewildering puzzle involving two rolls of toilet paper, and he solves them all with the aid... | | Friendly Introduction to Mathematical Logic, A
This user-friendly introduction to the key concepts of mathematical logic focuses on concepts that are used by mathematicians in every branch of the subject. Using an assessible, conversational style, it approaches the subject mathematically (with precise statements of theorems and correct proofs), exposing readers to the strength and power... |
