Summary
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 developmen…

Critics 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
