Books

For the most part lectures will be based on CLRS.

Introduction to Algorithms, Third Edition
T. Cormen, C. Leiserson, R. Rivest, C. Stein

We will provide lecture notes for the material covered in class not in Kozen, but some of you may want to do some additional reading. Here is a list of some of the more popular texts that you might find helpful. The web is also an excellent source of information. Note, though, that not all sources on the web are completely reliable.
