Most existing textbooks on this subject were written either for mathematics or engineering students and do not address the unique situation of computer science students, who have some background in discrete mathematics but less familiarity with continuous methods of proof and algorithms. This book is written specifically for those students, filled throughout with practical examples using the algorithmsbeing taught. The book also teaches theory in the context of application in parallel by delving into real-world problems in computer graphics and computer vision.Abstract:Most existing textbooks on this subject were written either for mathematics or engineering students and do not address the unique situation of computer science students, who have some background in discrete mathematics but less familiarity with continuous methods of proof and algorithms.
