I'd recommend grabbing a book on Discrete Mathematics. It's the foundation for much of CS theory and will get you into the terminology there. MIT Press's Introduction to Algorithms should be penetrable if you've had some basic calculus at some point. It's worth its price tag. I'm not sure that I'd recommend the Discreet textbook we used at it's going price of $130 now though...
- kaens 18y agoI found "Concrete Mathematics" to be a great read for maths relating to CS. I don't have a strong math background (took "calculus" in high school...) and haven't had a problem while reading it yet.
- eru 18y agoHow many of the problems did you do?
- kaens 18y agoAll the warmups and homework excersizes, most of the exam problems. Research problems not so much. I'm still working my way through it. I'm not trying to say it isn't challenging - just that it's approachable. It's extremely challenging.
- eru 18y agoChallenging, but approachable. That's a good characterization of 'Concrete Math'.
