I recommend to you to read this subject along with Discrete maths or
after you have completed discrete maths. I used only one book for this subject and found that to be more than enough for GATE.
1>>”Introduction to Algorithms” By T.H.Cormen et al.
This is “THE” book for Algorithms. The Book is simply brilliant, it
makes you understand every details of Algorithms. So this book is a
must read. Although I did not read the entire thing. Here is the list
of chapters that I had read. If you are interested of course you can read the entire book.
Chapter 1,2,3,4[excluding 4.4],6,7[excluding 7.3],8,10,11[excluding
11.5],12[excluding 12.4],18,22,23,24[excluding 24.4 and 24.5] for
NP-Completeness you can read 34 also.
In addition to this book I strongly recommend you to see the video
lectures from MIT. The lectures are given by Lieserson[who BTW is also
one of the authors of CLRS] and Erik demaine. The lectures are
absolutely brilliant. You may download them from ocw.mit.edu
• DATASTRUCTURES
I did not read this subject exclusively. I mostly participated in
discussions in Algorithms and datastructures communities on orkut .
That is i think more than enough.
• ALGORITHMS
