The overshooting and correcting pattern (and 'fractal' therein) can be understood analogously by considering the binary search tree. The tree is fractal (i.e. sub trees) and each step may overshoot until the solution is found. Th

I do like both of the books; but I found them more focused on mathematical analysis of algorithms rather than analysis of the real world noisy data (and choosing/making which algorithm to use).
