Pearls of Functional Algorithm Design (Hardcover)

Customer Review

Richard Bird has produced this book a truly sophisticated and esthetisches work!
But I want to say at the beginning what you will not find in this book:
- Certainly not an introduction to Haskell
- No thematically assorted book you look at the fundamentals of the design of
Can teach algorithms

What you get:
- The book is a collection of problems in a very dense and demanding
Way to be solved
- A book that a really forces very accurately think about things

I can only emphasize that the book really is not trivial. To select a chapter, that is a problem,
work through before I take a whole day.
This is due to the fact that first of all the problem is understood, then the underlying
Solution by the Haskell algorithm and finally, in my view the most difficult part, the
theoretical justification for the individual intermediate steps.
These intermediate steps are set out in a mathematical argument, set out in Haskell itself.

Finally I can say this book is for people who really enjoy pondering and a book
Find the evening they want to read as a sophisticated alternative to television for example.
The fact that each of the chapters is independently allows too freely in the book around
jump or drop it sometimes for a week aside.
