Why read it?
1 author picked Algorithms Illuminated (Part 1) as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
How do we know whether an algorithm is correct? While intuition is helpful, for tricky algorithms nothing beats the formal proof. But I don’t want a proof for proof’s sake: I want it to deepen my understanding of the algorithm. The proofs in this book series are the best I’ve seen: they are self-contained, described step by step, and serve to sharpen your understanding of what the algorithm is really doing. Couple that fact with the self-check questions, exercises with solutions, and associated video lectures, and what we have here is a wonderful resource for the motivated algorithms learner.
From Daniel's list on for actually learning how to design algorithms.
