Introduction to Algorithms is a book on computer programming by Thomas H. Cormen, Charles E. Leiserson, Ronald L. Rivest, and Clifford Stein. The book is described by its publisher as "the leading algorithms text in universities worldwide as well as the standard reference for professionals". [ 1 ]
Algorithms Unlocked is a book by Thomas H. Cormen about the basic principles and applications of computer algorithms. [1] The book consists of ten chapters, and deals with the topics of searching, sorting, basic graph algorithms, string processing, the fundamentals of cryptography and data compression, and an introduction to the theory of computation.
SICP has been influential in computer science education, and several later books have been inspired by its style. Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics (SICM), another book that uses Scheme as an instructional element, by Gerald Jay Sussman and Jack Wisdom; Software Design for Flexibility, by Chris Hanson and Gerald Jay Sussman
He is the co-author of Introduction to Algorithms, along with Charles Leiserson, Ron Rivest, and Cliff Stein. In 2013, he published a new book titled Algorithms Unlocked. He is an emeritus professor of computer science at Dartmouth College and former chairman of the Dartmouth College Department of Computer Science.

He is an Institute Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), [5] and a member of MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and its Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. Along with Adi Shamir and Len Adleman, Rivest is one of the inventors of the RSA algorithm.
The offer of a so-called Knuth reward check worth "one hexadecimal dollar" (100 HEX base 16 cents, in decimal, is $2.56) for any errors found, and the correction of these errors in subsequent printings, has contributed to the highly polished and still-authoritative nature of the work, long after its first publication.
Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs [1] is a 1976 book written by Niklaus Wirth covering some of the fundamental topics of system engineering, computer programming, particularly that algorithms and data structures are inherently related.
