Written for readers with at least some Perl programming experience, Mastering Algorithms in Perl provides a solid library of algorithms written in Perl for business and computing mathematics. From data structures and cryptographic algorithms more advanced mathematics, this book provides a useful guide to extending Perl's coding capabilities. The best thing about Mastering Algorithms in Perl is the scope of the universe that includes algorithms while refraining from getting jammed in detail the academic. In all, Mastering Algorithms in Perl fills a useful niche by compiling a powerful library of Perl algorithms that will be useful for anyone who works with programming languages, whether in business or academic computing Dragan. - Richard Topics covered: Perl data types, Big-O notation, data structures queue, deques, linked lists, binary trees, sorting and searching algorithms, game and dynamic programming, sets and multisets, matrices and graphs, and matching string parsing, 2 - D geometry, number systems, cryptography (including DES and RSA), probability, statistics, and numerical analysis.
