Kiranmala must leave the Kingdom Beyond and travel to her hometown of Parsippany to save Prince Lal, who has been spirited to the unlikeliest of places -- a tree in the yard of her best-enemy-for-life. She also faces evil serpents (of course!), plus a frightening prophecy about her role in the coming conflict between good and evil. Most troubling of all, though, is the way reality all around her seems to waver and flicker at odd moments. Could it be that the Anti-Chaos Committees efforts are causing a dangerous disruption in the multiverse? Kiran must grapple with the increasingly tangled threads that threaten to ensnare her...and everyone in the world and the Kingdom Beyond.

This book evolved over the past ten years from a set of lecture notes developed by the authors while teaching the undergraduate Algorithms course at Berkeley and U.C. San Diego. Instead of dwelling on formal proofs, this book distills in each case the crisp mathematical idea that makes the algorithm work. In other words, this book emphasizes rigor over formalism. Undergraduate students in Computer Science should be much more receptive to mathematical rigor of this form.
