Ask HN: How to learn Computer Algorithms for an electrical engineer?

3 pointsprando2 comments

Folks, what has been your go-text to do computer algorithms. I am a Firmware engineer (with Electrical Engg.) and haven't ventured much into using algorithm in my day-to-day work. I was trying out few problems in SPOJ and Topcoder and felt the heat. Please suggest some systematic approach to learning/ mastering algos..

There are many courses available for free on Coursera and Edx to learn algorithms. Also there are a couple of introduction to algorithms from Thomas Cormen (one of the authors of the wellknown CLRS book):
