Subjects / Algorithms & data structures

Best books to learn Algorithms & data structures, in order

This subject builds strictly upward and rewards patience. Arrays and linked lists come before trees and graphs; understanding those structures comes before the algorithms that traverse them; and Big-O intuition has to run through all of it. Dynamic programming only makes sense once recursion and the simpler structures are automatic. Foundations, then core algorithms, then the hard patterns.
