The Art of Programming. Fundamental Algorithms. Volume 1

The first volume of the series "The Art of Programming" begins with a description of the basic concepts and methods of programming. The author then focuses on the examination of information structures — the representation of information within a computer, the structural relationships between data elements, and ways to work with them effectively. Examples of elementary applications are provided for simulation methods, symbolic computations, numerical methods, and software development methods. Compared to the previous edition, dozens of simple yet very important algorithms have been added. In accordance with modern research directions, the section on mathematical introduction has also been significantly revised.
