Eeek, don't you think Knuth is a bit much for this? I guess I agree with you
though.
Have you read the Algorithms in <insert language here> by R. Sedgewick? It
pretty much covers everything from simple connectivity-problems to graphs:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/020172684X/qid=1059633925/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/103-5750351-7153416?v=glance&s=books
However, I own his C++ versions of Parts1-4 and part 5...and they aren't
ANSI/ISO standardized (at least my printing). =/ Good books though to peruse
while sitting on the john. Each theory has a code example, so less of the
ideals, more of the how-to.
