What free books (or course materials) are there that cover undergraduate algorithms material? I added "course materials" in case there exist comprehensive sets of lecture notes/video/other that are not quite organized in a book format but that are at least as effective as a book.

2$\begingroup$ What about Introduction to algorithms at MIT OpenCourseWare? It has 24 video lessons and 24 recitation videos (models of computation, sorts, binary search, AVL trees, ...) + problem sets and solutions $\endgroup$– Marzio De BiasiCommented Sep 19, 2016 at 20:36

1$\begingroup$ Thanks for the link. I wonder why they say that CLRS is required though. $\endgroup$– ManuCommented Sep 19, 2016 at 21:14

1$\begingroup$ Dasgupta, Papadimitriou, and Vazirani used to available on Umesh's website but the link doesn't work anymore. The chapters seem still accessible though. $\endgroup$– KavehCommented Sep 20, 2016 at 4:08
