  …later). Also, even if you consider only books, they wrote nine books, and neither of the two mentioned as most influential is "the dragon book". The first mentioned is the book by Aho, Hopcraft and Ullman: Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms (1974) > a classic in the field and was one of the most cited books in computer science research for more than a decade. It became the standard textbook for algorithms courses throughout the world when…

  (edit) Their book, The Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms, impressed me greatly for the clarity of the thinking and conciseness of explanation, not just compared to other algorithm books, but against anything I've read in any subject.

  They are both algorithm books and the initials are the last names of the authors. AHU is "The Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms" by Aho, Hopcroft and Ullman. CLR is "Introduction to Algorithms" by Cormen, Leiserson and Rivest

  …big-Theta). In fact, one can also show that M(n) is O(D(n)) (where D(n) is the time needed to divide n bit numbers). So they really are big-theta of each other. (See Aho, Hopcroft, and Ullman, The Design and Analysis of Computer Algorithms, 1976, section 8.2)
