The present handbook outlines the fundamental concepts, ideas, methods and results appearing in algorithms, data structures and the theory of computation. Leading experts have competently written 48 chapters with a broad coverage of topics such as: algorithmic design; (average case) analysis of algorithms; (multidimensional) data structures; searching and sorting; graph algorithms; matching in strings and pattern matching; randomized and algebraic algorithms; computational geometry; robot algorithms; image processing algorithms; VLSI layout algorithms; formal languages and grammars; computability; complexity classes and measures; reducibility and completeness; computational learning theory; linear and integer programming; convex optimization; approximation and scheduling algorithms; algorithms in AI; cryptography and cryptoanalysis; parallel computation and algorithms; distributed computing; etc. This handbook is written in a simple and clear way and it is delightful to read. It is written for graduate students and researchers and offers a comprehensive and coherent exposition for all those who deal with algorithms and the theory of computation. This handbook gives an excellent survey of the state of the art in the areas mentioned above. Each contribution ends with chapters called ``Defining terms (containing a list of technical notions used in the text together with their explanations), ``References (containing relevant and actual literature on the topic discussed) and ``Further information (containing some comments on the cited literature). The handbook can be highly recommended for anyone interested in algorithms, data structures and the theory of computation. It is also an indispensable book of reference for all computer scientists, researchers and (hopefully) professional programmers.
