- cperciva 16y agoIt's the best general-purpose algorithms textbook I've seen. There are lots of other books which go more in-depth into specific areas, but you need to cover the basics first.
- sajithw 16y agoIt is used in MIT's Intro Algorithms class. That said, it's very rigorous and requires use of discrete mathematics. It might be worth looking into some lighter reading first to see if algorithms are interesting enough to you personally to warrant working through a full textbook.
