Congrats on being accepted to the program.

No idea about the best book, but one of the best things I did some time ago, was to log in to khanacademy.org, and started doing some courses to re-learn a few things.

Even things from algebra I and II, and trigonometry were interesting to re-learn.

Now I'm reading some GIS projection code, and watching movies on calculus & trigonometry to refresh on integrals, matrix calculus, and sine/cosine.

Maybe try Khan Academy and check the textbooks for some CS programs in universities.

Best of luck!

Thanks, I vaguely remember learning concepts of cryptography from khan academy when I was 15 or so, really great website.

Since then some time passed and I visited the website on few occasions and I remember being astonished how much content they added.

Thanks again for your advice, I appreciate it
