I TOTALLY skipped Maths part of CLRS in this 2nd round. You know what, I can finish nearly 100 pages per day, for the first 200 pages of this book. (Practice Problem not included of course... I guess I will tackle them in the 3rd round)
It it pretty obvious that CLRS targets at algorithm research beginners. For engineers, you don't have to know the theoretical background behind it...
Anyway, I feel this book much thinner now. I think it will get thicker for the 3rd round in future.
