Essential Algorithms: A Practical Approach to Computer Algorithms

Essential Algorithms: A Practical Approach to Computer Algorithms, 9781118612101 (1118612108), John Wiley & Sons, 2013

A friendly and accessible introduction to the most useful algorithms

Computer algorithms are the basic recipes for programming. Professional programmers need to know how to use algorithms to solve difficult programming problems. Written in simple, intuitive English, this book describes how and when to use the most practical classic algorithms, and even how to create new algorithms to meet future needs. The book also includes a collection of questions that can help readers prepare for a programming job interview.

Reveals methods for manipulating common data structures such as arrays, linked lists, trees, and networks
Addresses advanced data structures such as heaps, 2-3 trees, B-trees
Addresses general problem-solving techniques such as branch and bound, divide and conquer, recursion, backtracking, heuristics, and more
Reviews sorting and searching, network algorithms, and numerical algorithms
Includes general problem-solving techniques such as brute force and exhaustive search, divide and conquer, backtracking, recursion, branch and bound, and more

In addition, Essential Algorithms features a companion website that includes full instructor materials to support training or higher ed adoptions.

Biosimulation in Drug Development

John Wiley & Sons, 2007

Drug development is far from a straightforward endeavor. It starts with the identification of a pharmaceutically promising substance, the potential of which is further investigated in near-exhausting physiological analyses (Chapter 1). If it is found effective, this does not necessarily mean that we know all the molecular...

Head First Software Development (Brain-Friendly Guides)

O'Reilly, 2008

Even the best developers have seen well-intentioned software projects fail -- often because the customer kept changing requirements, and end users didn't know how to use the software you developed. Instead of surrendering to these common problems, let Head First Software Development guide you through the best practices of software...

Oracle Identity Management: Governance, Risk, and Compliance Architecture, Third Edition

Auerbach Publications, 2008

An identity management system is defined as the management of the identity life cycle of entities (subjects or objects) during which the identity is established, described, and destroyed. What this definition fails to cover is the social, personal, and financial impact of the identity life cycle.

Before I joined Oracle as director of GRC...
