Algorithms is written for an introductory upper-level undergraduate or graduate course in algorithms ( )

I admit: I've seen better algorithms books, but this is the one they used at my school. For what it's worth, it's an all right text, though it feels less lively than other algorithm texts I've come across.

Johnsonbaugh and Shaefer give a very nice overview of algorithms, including examples of them to solve real world problems (and some non-real world problems, like the one involving the duck, the fox, and the bag of corn).

If you want to complete your education of algorithms, be you a computer programmer or a mathematician, I recommend finding the most interesting book on the subject you can find, and if you can't find that book, get this one. ( )
