Answer 1

Sounds like something between:

• http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Algorithms-Thomas-H-Cormen/dp/0262533057
• http://www.amazon.com/Practical-API-Design-Confessions-Technology/dp/1430209739

Answer 2

http://www.amazon.com/Algorithms-Java-Parts-1-4-Pts-1-4/dp/0201361205

Answer 3

The Algorithm Design Manual

Steve S. Skiena.

Answer 4

Well, THE books for algorithms are:

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_Algorithms
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_Computer_Programming

Answer 5

Have a look here and get a book from that course. There are videos of lectures and lecture s' transcripts. http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-046j-introduction-to-algorithms-sma-5503-fall-2005/

Answer 6

You might also take a look at Robert Sedgewick's "Algorithms in C" (or "... in C++" or "... in Java"). I believe the content is the same, although I'm only familiar with the former. Good explanations with clear diagrams.

Otherwise the above recommendation for Cormen et al. is worth taking.
