1. Introduction To Algorithms
A Creative Approach
An accessible guide to algorithmic problem solving that emphasizes how to design algorithms and prove them correct, rather than cataloging results. Through a “design by induction” mindset, it develops core techniques—recursion, divide-and-conquer, dynamic programming, greedy strategies, and backtracking—using puzzle-like examples, invariants, and careful complexity analysis. The aim is to cultivate creativity and rigorous reasoning so readers can discover, justify, and analyze their own solutions.
