    Do these books include relevant mathematics needed to understand algos..

    Most of the material is focused on helping the reader understand what actually goes on - you get code where a mathematican would take the time honoured shortcut it can easily be shown ... and skip ahead to what can easily be explained ... I think wikipedia would be a good source for any missing formulaes, like Ford–Fulkerson algorithm[^] - you will certainly learn some of the mathematics, but that is not the primary focus of the books. Good luck, you're in for an interesting journey :thumbsup:

    Hmm nice..reference!! And thanks for the wishes... as my prime focus would be learning the approach that how we actually form new algorithms.. rather than understanding and applying the old ones!! Stay Excellent!! :)

      A free online Algorithms course is starting on 1 July 2013 on Coursera - Algorithms[^]. The teacher is Prof. Tim Roughgarden from Stanford. Seems to be a great course.
