Hi i will go straight to the point, I suck at algorithm (Complex algorithm) maybe because of my bad foundation at Maths, however I intend to make up for it, if anyone, especially omo_to_dun,ekt_bear,Fayimora, abdulpoopola know of the curriculum of books I can read to improve, because even on Project Euler my limitations shows. Thanks bear, am eager to improve my skills.

I don't think maths has much bearing on algorithms. It's more of logic than mathematics(Yes! I know logic is a branch of maths). Logic is more of analysis than processing and number crunching, which is what core maths requires of you. So anybody with an analytical mind can tackle algorithms very well, whether he's a programmer, accountant, business manager, etc.

So I'd say start by learning to break down real life projects/problems into their constituent scopes and components, then as a programmer that you are; break them further down into data-types, structures, functions and controls.

Thanx bro

You will need solid knowledge of maths as you ascend up the ladder...
Your roadmap will be:
**logic and basic algorithm is okkay...
**Optimization or Minimization algorithms
**Graph algorithms
**Numerical and Discrete algorithms
**Discretization algorithms
**Advanced algorithms from numerous research theses...

though, for programming in a business discipline, all these aren't needed...
but for a real-life engineering discipline, You Need all!!
