Textbooks:

Steven S. Skiena & Miguel A. Revilla, Programming Challenges: The Programming Contest Training Manual (PC), 2003, Springer, ISBN 0-387-00163-8

Steven S. Skiena, The Algorithm Design Manual (ADM), 1998, Springer, ISBN 0-387-94860-0

These books have been chosen to give a balanced view of how best to prepare for the ACM Internatoinal Collegiate Programming Competition (ICPC).

All the code from the first text can be accessed online.

You can also access the main Web page for the text.

If you are interested in joining the group, please contact Prof. Lindeman. It is a lot of fun, and you might learn something too!
