Reviews for the 1st edition:
"A good choice for anyone who needs to understand and implement algorithms."
—RedGreenCode
“With Zingaro as a tutor by your side, you'll learn, through practice on challenging competition problems, a repeatable process for figuring out and deftly applying the most appropriate algorithmic tools for the job. You'll learn it all from a book that exudes clarity, humor, and just the right dose of Canadian pride. Happy problem-solving!”
—Dr. Tim Roughgarden, Professor of Computer Science at Columbia University
"A clear and engaging text . . . By presenting problems first and their algorithm/data structure solutions later, it shows us exactly why those solutions are useful and how they fit into the big picture. . . . Far too many textbooks present solutions fully-formed with no mention of the dead ends and too-complicated solutions you’d hit along the way. But Algorithmic Thinking takes you from the initial idea to the final breakthrough, setbacks and all. Problem solving is a raw, real journey, and this book captures its spirit perfectly. I highly recommend it."
—Ava Pun, medal winner in the International Olympiad in Informatics Programming Competition
"A good introduction to some important competitive programming techniques."
—Antti LAAKSONEN, Olympiads in Informatics
