A great book!
This book has thirteen chapters. It covers Lists, Stacks & Queues, Arrays, Recursion, Trees, Balanced Trees, Decision Trees, Sorting, Searching, Hashing, Network Algorithms and Object-Oriented Techniques. The one I'm most interested in is Chapter 8 (Decision Trees), the book has a small Tic-Tac-Toe game and source code. The game has 9 levels of "Artificial Intelligence". I thought I'd find some source code or explanation on chess game when I bought this book. This is the only reason that disappoints me slightly, other than that, it's a great book.

Another little VB gem by Rod Stephens
There aren't many good Advanced VB textbooks out there and most don't bother to teach this stuff, but most Professors or Instructors expect their students to understand sorting algorithms, queues, hashes, binary trees, linked lists, spanning trees, etc. This book was very helpful towards that end. The sample programs are great! Stephens spends more time than usual in explaining the general fundamentals of algorithms and their benefits. He really speaks to the reader. This is not an Advanced VB textbook or reference book. It does a very good job of covering Visual Basic Algorithms.

Zikes
Should have paid more attention in math class. I will bow to others who have written positive reviews, but I just got confused. Like many good computer books though, I will give it another try when my brain frees up some memory.
