Quote from From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [IOI] IOI 2003 Update and The Programming Contest Training Manual Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2003 01:15:32 +0200 <quote> * Programming Challenges: The Programming Contest Training Manual <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0387001638/theinternationscA/> has just been published. This new book is by Steven Skiena (author of The Algorithm Design Manual) and Miguel Revilla (designer of The Valladolid Programming Contest Site with problem sets, on-line judge, and a contest hosting service at <http://acm.uva.es/problemset/>). It is reasonably priced at US$ 32.95 for 368 pages with 112 of the the most fun, exciting and interesting problems from the Universidad de Valladolid (UVa) programming contest judge. These problems are organized by topic, with complete tutorial material in the relevant algorithmics and mathematics to give you a better chance to solve them. Reading this book and trying the problems provides a concrete understanding of algorithmic techniques such as backtracking and dynamic programming, and advanced topics such as number theory and computational geometry. Complete implementations of fundamental graph, string, and geometric algorithms and representative challenges are included. This book provides a complete training course for all three major programming contests -- ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ACM ICPC), International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), and Topcoder Challenge -- with training and competition secrets from previous champions! The problems and tutorial material in this book are also well worth every programmer's attention even if you never intend to compete in programming contests. A separate judging website at <http://www.programming-challenges.com> provides special help and support for the problems in the book. Every problem in the book can be judged *both* on the UVa judge and at www.programming-challenges.com. </quote> --
