"Concrete Math" by Graham, Knuth, and Patashnik.

  The entire book?

    Not necessarily, but the question wasn't specific enough to recommend a subset. It's all potentially relevant.

      Cool. I'll look for the applicable sections within it. Thanks

    It's definitely worth browsing. Do as many exercises as you feel like.

  Beware, Concrete Math, from what I've heard, is great but very hardcore (but in a subtle, sneaky way). The reader is expected to have a very solid grasp of many areas of math before reading it, such as being an upper level math undergrad student. If this doesn't describe you, I'd also suggest starting with CLRS first.

    That's exactly what I was afraid of.

    But it's written so well that it's a pleasure to repeatedly bang ones head against :) So go for it but expect to have to take it slowly... oh, and do the exercises otherwise it won't make sense.
