This textbook grew out of a collection of lecture notes that I wrote for various algorithms classes at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, which I have been teaching about once a year since January 1999. Spurred by changes of our undergraduate theory curriculum, I undertook a major revision of my notes in 2016; this book consists of a subset of my revised notes on the most fundamental course material, mostly reflecting the algorithmic content of our new required junior-level theory course.
