CLRS is an obvious book suggestion for data structures and algorithms idk what the ~goon opinion~ of it is but its probably on like 99% of university reading lists

I'm in the former category myself.

for me calc 1 was before discrete math, so you might have a hard time with clrs. also theres video lectures thru mit ocw for it so thats probably the best idea

i had to implement a partial sha256 collision finder for a class that was memory-efficient (partial in the sense of 'get the first n bits to collide for as large n as possible') i managed to get to 64 bits but i lost 10% because the algorithm i implemented was linear in the prefix length instead of constant welp that's my story

CLRS is a slog. You'll learn more than you'll ever possibly need to know and you'll spend more time sitting with a pad and paper than writing code. But if you actually manage to correctly do clrs exercises it'll be an incredibly valuable experience

Graphs are fun to solve some mazes, and do some reductions of algorithms for trees (forests), which are acyclic directed graphs, or undirected acyclic graphs when you have zippers  E: and a shitload of stuff I never had to work on.
