Why read it?
1 author picked Data Structures and Algorithms as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is the book that started it all for me… and I think it holds up just fine today.

To this day this book has some of my favourite presentations of Dijkstra’s Algorithm and sorting.
From Daniel's list on The best books for actually learning how to design algorithms.
