Is this the recommended order to read/learn them in? If I was primarily concerned with getting up to par with math for the sake of being able to actually understand everyone's favorite algorithms textbooks, would you still suggest working through all of these, or could you recommend an abridged list?

If you want to understand algorithms, you need a computer science curriculum, not a mathematical curriculum.

Also, unfortunately, its not the recommended order to learn them in.
