Everyone more or less agrees that Don Knuth's books are of extraordinary
quality.  It is also true that they are extraordinarily difficult to read.  An
easier, but nevertheless excellent choice is Robert Sedgewick's "Algorithms"
which comes in two flavors, Pascal and C.  Intermediate in reading difficulty
between Sedgewick and Knuth is Thomas Standish's "Data Structure Techniques."
It, like the other two texts, is of very high quality.  It is my preference,
but students dislike it - too mathematical.
