Any recommendations to learn Algorithms besides pic related? I'm taking an Algorithms class right now, I passed the 2 prerequisite classes with A's - this class is making me feel like a brainlet.

Why not this

Personally,

I read Algorithms Unlocked by Cormen first.
Then I read Data Structures and Algorithms in Java by Michael T. Goodrich. Finally, I read CLRS. Make sure you know your combinatorics.

Grokking's algorithms is a good primer.

Use CLRS as a reference book. It is shit for guidance. Use a video tutorial for guidance and then use this to dissect deeper.

CLRS is a good reference text but not a book that can really guide you. I’d suggest following OCW algorithms courses for both undergrad and graduate sections taught by Erik Demaine. Jeff Erickson’s book / notes on algorithms is a really good guiding book, but I suggest finding hard algorithms problems from other sources to practice.

https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-433-combinatorial-optimization-fall-2003/

The advanced graduate ones are mostly for reference / challenge, except the advanced data structures class by demaine - his undergrad algo and grad data structures classes are really good and fundamental to any problems you would encounter in your class.

I find it very dense and hard to follow

http://cp-algorithms.com/ these are useful ones
others are too specific

i used:
Algorithms and Data Structures in Python
Algorithms Design Manual
Handbook of Competitive Programming (free book)
there is also another book by Cormen, shorter and much lighter, its called Algorithms Unlocked

the book in your pic is a meme. Pretentious faggots will tell you to read it and that it's "easy" but most of them haven't read more than a page of it themselves. Don't feel bad for not liking it, almost no one actually does
