data structures and algorithms e-books [closed]

Answer 1

I'm not sure if this counts as an "e-book", but I am rather fond of the wikibooks project. It is a bit disorganized, but has everything you need. Plus, built-in links to wikipedia! linky

Answer 2

_{(source: wikimedia.org)}

Introduction to Algorithms by CLRS (second edition) is pretty much the standard textbook today for these subjects.

Answer 3

By far my favourite algorithm textbook is The Algorithm Design Manual, by Steven Skiena. Very easy to read, very practical, and extremely useful. The first half of the book is a general treatment of algorithm theory, with lots of practical examples. The second half is a huge library of common problems, what algorithms can be used to tackle them, and comprehensive lists of references. You won't be disappointed.

Answer 4

I like Robert Sedgewick's Algorithms books. The original one used Pascal and is nice because it does not get boggled down in language issues.

Answer 5

Introduction to Algorithms

The Art of Computer Programming - by Donald Knuth (hard read, but well worth it, not recommended for a first algorithms book)

Concrete Mathemetics - By Donald Knuth (understanding the math behind algorithms)

I don't know if e-book versions are available for these, but if they are...these books will definitely give you the theory behind worst-case, and asymptotic analysis of algorithms.

Answer 6

Aho, Hopcroft and Ullman - Design And Analysis Of Computer Algorithms A classic.
