Maybe because you are a brainlet.

Instead of calling the book poorly written, why don't you suggest better resources to actually compare to

>he's too stupid to read proofs
this is why hard maths should be mandatory before you're even allowed into a CS program.

That brain is in a our interpretation of the fourth dimension.

i didn't think it was poorly written at all.
it's just that you won't understand most of it if you didn't learn your mathematics first, and your old school math shit won't get you too far into it.

Maybe yours, brainlet

What do you recommend then?

Have you guys actually opened this book? Cormen's shit is fucking amazing even if his writing is a bit esoteric. He is a mathematician, they are retarded like that, but holy shit they can put a huge amount of information in a small package.

This book is amazing. If you don't understand it the first time, that's completely normal and understandable, just give it another read. And then another.

This. I've never read a better algorithms and data structures book before or since.

Knut's series is a meme though. It contains a lot of great stuff but is, in fact, unreadable imo.
