Rivest was my thesis advisor at MIT. My favorite class was 6.046 - Introduction to Algorithms, which now uses this text (http://theory.lcs.mit.edu/classes/6.046/fall01/). Our textbook at the time was Aho, Hopcroft, and Ullman (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0201000296/104-5947851-5892756).

Real code and good explanation behind many numerical-type algorithms. Kind of like Knuth, but more cookbook in nature; you can copy code directly out of the book and get up and running quickly.
