Ask HN: Looking for a dense book on algorithms
All my books on algorithms are pretty wordy and I'd like some recommendations on good algorithm books that are quite dense and to the point. Thank you.
- oldbuzzard 12y agoOK. So Cormen's "Intro to Algorithms"[1] or Knuth[2].., but be prepared to be gobsmacked and have a graduate level math background...
