Surprised I didn't know of this paper, this is the paper that led to the book: Introduction to Algorithms: A Creative Approach by Udi Manber (1989). This book was awesome, a reviewer on Amazon explains its unique style of teaching better than me: "By Vinhthuy Phan on July 2, 2003 : Most books I have read on the subject seem to be simply a collection of algorithmic tricks and techniques. There's no single universal idea, except for this book by Udi Manber. The cover picture says it all. In my opinion, the most fundamental and universal concept in algorithmic design is the idea of induction, recursion, and building bigger desired solutions from smaller already-constructed ones. The experts establish this as their intuition and perhaps take it for granted. But as a beginning algorist, when you have to ask yourself how do I solve/optimize/approximate this problem, I think you'll find this idea so important. This book attempts to make this concept your algorithmic intuition, and that's I think is a good thing. That said, it should be read along with other books in algorithms design and analysis."
