Lukas18698yHeavy and bit dry, but if you are willing to go the extra mile: Introduction to the theory of computation - Michael Sipser

Lukas18698yYou ask for an advice. I give you one, and you then you call the author a "fagot", without even reading it, based on reviews. Very clever of you....and what, may I ask, is the relation between the content of a book and the writer being a "fagot"?

I said probably. It is related by an inappropriate price. I'm sure there's absolutely no need to give it such a price. I can understand a 1300 page book for 60 bucks. And this is already pretty overpriced. Especially when it's not the first edition.

But thanks for the reply. I appreciate your time invested into writing the comment. This book is probably just not for me. And about the reviews - why shouldn't one believe them? There's a system that brings most useful comments first. Of course that's not my own point of view but the chances are high mine will be rather similar after reading it. And unfortunately I don't have time to read all the books out there.

Anyway, I asked few other guys and seems like Algorithms by Sedgwick is what I need. Still huge amount of money but 3x cheaper than that book.

Lukas18698yI can understand you don't think it's good book. No problem with that. It was just not necessary to call the author gay, and there is no relation between being gay and publishing a good book. I found it on a Dutch site (paperback) for €97...and the second goolge link provides it for free;). And there's always a library...Though I wish your mate good luck: expanding your algorithm knowledge when you don't like (discrete) maths is like saying "I want to be an icecream maker, but it I don't like the cold."
Any good algo book for a guy who's managed to read C Primer Plus and Learning Python? With math really explained. He's bad in math.
