This question has already been answered:

Looking for a book on the basics of algorithmization. The main requirement is a simple and accessible style of presentation of the material in the book and was intended for beginners in this business. Algorithms are my weakest part in programming, so I want to work on it. Therefore, please advise the book. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Kormen read, basic knowledge (if you read from the beginning) is not required at all, we started to teach on the first part of the book in 8th grade.

    Anyway, a serious knowledge base is needed only for a rigorous mathematical substantiation of the correctness of algorithms and complexity estimates, and I think your knowledge will be sufficient for understanding most of the evidence (especially since things like группового and амортизационного analysis are introduced gradually in the book) .

      Dasgupta, Papadimitriou, Wazirani "Algorithms" for free (in the comments you can order in paper form)

      Stephen S. Skien "Algorithm Theory"

      Better than textbooks (not fat) did not see.

      Knut's trilogy (Book 1 - Basic Algorithms, Book 2 - Sorting and Search, Book 3 - Calculated Algorithms) - these works can be quite complex ... I understand the essence of your question, but these are really good books. T. Corman - Algorithms construction and analysis.

      • I need something easier than these books. I have nothing against these books, but in order to read them you need basic knowledge of algorithms. - ArniLand

      Here is a rich choice: Algorithms, computer algebra

        Wirth can be read. Algorithms and data structures. we have just before Knut was.

          Well, for completeness Robert Sedgwick Algorithms in C ++. Fundamental algorithms and data structures. :)

            I will also advise Emaxx http://e-maxx.ru/algo/ , there are a lot of algorithms, with an estimate of the asymptotics, proofs and examples on c ++, as well as an example of tasks for using these algorithms.
