莱维斯特教授于1975年秋讲授这门课程，他的合作者、麻省理工学院计算机科学与工程教授查尔斯·雷瑟尔森于1981年开始讲授这门课程。

Rivest first taught the course in the fall of 1975, and his co-author Charles Leiserson, a professor of computer science and engineering, began teaching it soon after arriving at MIT in 1981.

但是将讲稿变成教材是一位名叫托马斯·科尔曼的研究生来到麻省理工学院后促成的。 雷瑟尔森说，“它是一位很有才华的技术作家。

But the decision to turn the notes into a textbook was precipitated by the arrival at MIT of Tom Cormen, a graduate student who, Leiserson says, “was just a very gifted technical writer.

从1986年开始，科尔曼、雷瑟尔森、莱维斯特在这本书上花了近4年时间，这本书于1990年由麻省理工学院出版社和麦格劳—希尔(McGraw - Hill)出版社联合出版。

Beginning in 1986, Cormen, Leiserson and Rivest spent almost four years working on the book, which was jointly published by the MIT Press and McGraw-Hill in 1990.
