Algorithm Books Recommendation

Hey,

As the thread title suggests, I'm looking for some book recommendations so I can improve my understanding of algorithms.

There's so many books on the topic I can't really decided which one to get.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks.

There's plenty of MOOCs on the subject, Standford have a couple of excellent courses.

This course starts soon: https://www.coursera.org/course/algs4partI

The course is based on this book: http://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-4th-Edition-Robert-Sedgewick/dp/032157351X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399487600&sr=8-1&keywords=algorithms

First Sedgewick for basics.

Then "Algorithm design manual" by Skiena for some more insight and intuition on how to think about new problems.

Then CLRS for reference.

Then buy and never read The Art of Computer Programming.
