Hi, I’ve been trying to learn Algorithms, since last few weeks but still I’ve not understood anything! Please guide me the correct path before learning algorithms i.e. what I’ve to learn before learning algorithms, because I’ve heard we’ve to learn about Data-Structures, Mathematical Induction. etc… Is that true? If So, where can I learn them easily. Here is the list which I have learnt till till now :

  1. PHP

  2. MySQL

  3. C#

  4. Javascript

  5. and Of Course HTML and CSS and other famous frameworks

I’ve been referring The Algorithm Design Manual by Steven S. Skiena
Pluralsight and also edx.org
