[rch]

What kind of algorithms?

Whatever the answer, check out Numerical Recipes (http://www.nr.com/).

[aberatiu → rch]

I was thinking of something that will explain, maybe step-by-step, the implementation of various algorithms (like these, for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm), so that I could understand the logic behind them.

[rch → aberatiu]

How about taking a look at some sample pages? I'd be interested in knowing if it's along the lines of what you're looking for.

[tubbzor → aberatiu]

wikipedia has pages for all the popular sorting algorithms, most with pseudo-code and graphics too.
