Algorithm Books
-
I'm not exceptionally good at mathematics, so many of the famous algorithms' books which have a good chunk of it are a bit difficult for me to understand easily. I'm looking for a book which is easy to follow. Cormen was difficult, but Wrox's Beginning Algorithms (Java) was a more accessible read. Can you list a few books which are easy to follow? By easy, I don't mean cut-copy-paste ready code, I'm looking for lucid explanations in easy to understand language, the lesser mathematical in nature, the better. How to solve it with computers was great, and something of the kind with a greater coverage. Any recommendations?

O'Rilley Algorithms in a nutshell is awesome desktop book. It has code samples in several languages plus the sudocode covering the logic and why or why not to use a particular algorithm for a particular task.
