Comment on Question: What are the best books on algorithms?parentComments−thisisnotmyname18yI would like to second the recommendation of The Algorithm Design Manual by Skiena - it is really a fantastic presentation.−ravimohan18yIn my experience, the combination of the "Algorithms" by Rivest et al and Skiena's "Algorithm Design Manual" provides a very complete exposition of algorithms. Just make sure you work through as many of the exercises in "Algorithms" as you can.
