get yourself a discrete math textbook (I can't remember what I used). A sprinkling of things that will come up: set theory, probability (Bayesian), Big-O notation and associated meanings, worst/best/avg case analysis, amortized cost, induction, some algebra, ect
if you don't really understand all the math surrounding some fancy algorithm it probably isn't all that important. and everyone's favorite line in a CS proof is of course "without loss of generality".
- likpok 17y agoA book i used and liked: Mathematical Thinking, by West and D'Angelo. It's more than a discrete text (it covers construction of the reals, limits, etc), but it covered a lot.
