Purchase options and add-ons

This book is devoted to five main principles of algorithm design: divide and conquer, greedy algorithms, thinning, dynamic programming, and exhaustive search. These principles are presented using Haskell, a purely functional language, leading to simpler explanations and shorter programs than would be obtained with imperative languages. Carefully selected examples, both new and standard, reveal the commonalities and highlight the differences between algorithms. The algorithm developments use equational reasoning where applicable, clarifying the applicability conditions and correctness arguments. Every chapter concludes with exercises (nearly 300 in total), each with complete answers, allowing the reader to consolidate their understanding and apply the techniques to a range of problems. The book serves students (both undergraduate and postgraduate), researchers, teachers, and professionals who want to know more about what goes into a good algorithm and how such algorithms can be expressed in purely functional terms.

Editorial Reviews

Review

‘I strongly suspect that Richard Bird hides a magically productive book writing apparatus in his office. This time around, Bird pulled the machine’s levers together with Jeremy Gibbons and out came Algorithm Design with Haskell, a book that is remarkable in many ways … the authors recast a number of classical problems in terms of thinning, including ones like knapsack which otherwise have been tackled via dynamic programming for ages. These fresh – very confidently and competently presented- takes on established material are true highlights of the text.’ Torsten Grust, Journal of Functional Programming

Book Description

Ideal for learning or reference, this book explains the five main principles of algorithm design and their implementation in Haskell.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hard to read code examples (math symbols in code, proportional italic font)
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2022
Seems like a great book.
However, while the material in the book already gives a good amount of cognitive load,
The authors make a reader's life unnecessarily harder and add more to it by:

1. Using math notation in code snippets
The reader needs to manually convert all math such as → ⊕ ≪ · symbols and subtexts to code.
It's not Haskell and it can't be pasted to REPL or an .hs file.
Using ASCII would make it more comprehensible.

2. Using Italic Proportional Font for code
The code blends together (italic) and is not spaced properly.
Using a regular fixed-width font would improve readability.

This book is a decent algorithm book. I wish it could use more advanced features of Haskell. But still, eye opening.

5.0 out of 5 stars モナドや圏論を使わないシンプルな関数言語のアルゴリズムが書けるようになること、中級者向けの良書。
Reviewed in Japan on September 11, 2023
Verified Purchase
気に入ったところは、サンプルコードが充実していたこと。GHCコンパイラのみで、外部パッケージを使わないでも、BFSやDFSなどのアルゴリズムやグラフなどのアルゴリズムが書けることを示したところ。
気に入らないところは、サンプルを実行するのに必要な関数が章末の問題に記述されていたりするところ。
使い方は、辞書を引くようにして疑問に思ったところを読んで理解し、引用してコードを書いて動かし、パフォーマンスを見る。本書を使って、競プロの問題を解いてみるなどに使っています。実行速度は遅かったりするので、ステートモナドやメモアイゼーションなどを用いたり、正格性を制御したりして向上させる必要があります。
