Subtitled "Learning and Improving Algorithms Through Contests", this book looks at how competitive programming is a proven method of implementing and testing algorithms, as well as developing computational thinking and improving programming and debugging skills. Author Dr. Antti Laaksonen introduces dynamic programming and other fundamental algorithm design techniques, and investigates a wide selection of graph algorithms, as well as covering more advanced topics, such as maximum flows, Nim theory, and suffix structures. This new edition features new material on advanced topics, such as calculating Fourier transforms, finding minimum cost flows in graphs, and using automata in string problems.
