…you'll be surprised how short it is compared to most textbooks. I must confess, though, that some of the exercises can be absolutely maddening. Dead tree link for those interested: http://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-Sanjoy-Dasgupta/dp/00735234...
As an older self-taught engineer who went through interviews last year this is great advice. Other books I found particularly useful were: Algorithms by Dasgupta, Papadimitriou and Vazirani: http://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-Sanjoy-Dasgupta/dp/00735234... And Elements of Programming Interviews by Aziz, Lee and Prakash: http://www.amazon.com/Elements-Programming-Interviews-Inside...
我偶然发现了《Algorithms》（作者 Sanjoy Dasgupta、Christos H. Papadimitriou、Umesh Vazirani）。我觉得它适合初学者，又不会让人不知所措。它像散文一样流畅，而不晦涩。
I have stumbled upon Algorithms (by Sanjoy Dasgupta Algorithms (Author), Christos H. Papadimitriou Algorithms (Author), Umesh Vazirani). I find it, good for beginners, without being overwhelming. It goes like prose and not terse.
DPV 曾是一本非常好的“免费”本科算法教材，直到出版商要求作者停止免费提供 https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~christos/ “Algorithms with Sanjoy Dasgupta (Christos Papadimitriou) and Umesh Vazirani, McGraw-Hill……”
DPV was a really good 'free' undergrad algorithms text until the publisher demanded the author's stop giving it away https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~christos/ "Algorithms with Sanjoy Dasgupta (Christos Papadimitriou) and Umesh Vazirani, McGraw-Hill…
Whoops, seems I posted the mobile link, here's the desktop site link: http://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-Sanjoy-Dasgupta/dp/00735234... And here's the uk one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Algorithms-Sanjoy-Dasgupta/dp/007352...
Robert Sedgewick 写的《Algorithms》[1] 写得特别好。还有这本 [2] 也相当不错，很简洁。我觉得更适合对经典算法不陌生的人（比如你）。[1]……
Algorithms [1] by Robert Sedgewick is particularly well written. Also, this one [2] is quite good and concise. I believe better suited for someone who is not unfamiliar with classic algorithms (like you). [1]…
……你会惊讶它比大多数教科书短多少。不过我必须承认，有些习题绝对让人抓狂。感兴趣的话，纸质书链接：http://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-Sanjoy-Dasgupta/dp/00735234...

作为一个去年经历过面试的年长自学工程师，这是很好的建议。我发现特别有用的其他书有：Dasgupta、Papadimitriou 和 Vazirani 的《Algorithms》：http://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-Sanjoy-Dasgupta/dp/00735234... 以及 Aziz、Lee 和 Prakash 的《Elements of Programming Interviews》：http://www.amazon.com/Elements-Programming-Interviews-Inside...
