Where can I find e-books on Data Structures and Algorithms? I am currently reading "Computer Algorithms: Introduction to design and Analysis" by Sara Baase and Allen Van Gelder. I would like to have additional information to supplement what's in this book. Also some references on worst-case analysis would be great.

Which book should I read for Data structures and algorithms?

Data Structures and Algorithms Made Easy The book: Data structures and Algorithms Made Easy, by Narsimha Karumanchi is a very famous book on Data structures and Algorithms.

Are Data structures and algorithms obsolete today?

A data structure is a collection of data elements that are structured in some way, for example, by numbering the elements. While Algorithm is a step by step procedure that will be followed to find the expected output. Data structures are not obsolete.

By far my favourite algorithm textbook is The Algorithm Design Manual, by Steven Skiena. Very easy to read, very practical, and extremely useful. The first half of the book is a general treatment of algorithm theory, with lots of practical examples. The second half is a huge library of common problems, what algorithms can be used to tackle them, and comprehensive lists of references. You won't be disappointed.

I like Robert Sedgewick's Algorithms books. The original one used Pascal and is nice because it does not get boggled down in language issues.
