Treffer: Review of Data Structures and Algorithms in Java (2nd ed) ; Michael T Goodrich and Roberto Tamassia

Data Structures is a first book on algorithms and data structures, using an object- oriented approach. The target audience for the book is a second-year CS class introducing fundamental data structures and their associated algorithms. This second edition of the book has been corrected and revised, and is a substantial improvement over the first edition. A companion web site contains useful ancillary tools, including an excellent set of slides.Despite several minor errors and some questionable stylistic choices, I found this version of the book to be well-written. The problem sets are large, interesting, and thought-stimulating. In several places connections are drawn between the algorithm being discussed and important contemporary real-world problems (e.g. search engines, DNA sequence comparison, garbage collection), which students usually appreciate.
