xxPrefaceOthers at Prentice Hall who helped me along the way include Truly Donovan, LindaBehrens, <strong>and</strong> Phyllis Bregman. I am sure I owe thanks <strong>to</strong> many others at PrenticeHall for their help in ways that I am not even aware of.I wish <strong>to</strong> express my appreciation <strong>to</strong> Hanan Samet for teaching me about datastructures. I learned much of the philosophy presented here from him as well,though he is not responsible for any problems with the result. Thanks <strong>to</strong> my wifeTerry, for her love <strong>and</strong> support, <strong>and</strong> <strong>to</strong> my daughters Irena <strong>and</strong> Kate for pleasantdiversions from working <strong>to</strong>o hard. Finally, <strong>and</strong> most importantly, <strong>to</strong> all of the datastructures students over the years who have taught me what is important <strong>and</strong> whatshould be skipped in a data structures course, <strong>and</strong> the many new insights they haveprovided. This book is dedicated <strong>to</strong> them.Clifford A. ShafferBlacksburg, Virginia
