Which Computer Science algorithms should not be missed by students?

Computer Science students know the importance of algorithms and the variety of them are out there that you and I haven't implemented or read about.
Could anyone here discuss the computer science algorithms that are really important and shouldn't be missed? Please share.

    The one that comes handy most of the times are Sorting , Searching & Shortest path algorithms.

    Refer Coreman !

    It does! it's very useful. But i've never seen anyone implementing it in a proper way! Though it is in the course of engineering, people don't seem to care about the proper implementation of code. Yeah, it'll take time to get the proper implementation but it can be given as an assignment with no marks 😛 😛
