    Good Data Structures Book

    I am looking for a good book on data structures. You see I am starting my masters in computer science soon and am not a computer major. I have an undergrad degree in chemistry. I have to take a course in algorithm concepts my first semester and the prereq to that course is knowledge of data structures. Because of my outstanding previous acedemics having a 3.76 GPA, the school I am attending has waived all prereq courses. Do not get me wrong I have some programming experience and understand OOP, Inheritence, Polymorphism,Collections, Threads, etc. I have just never had any exposure to data structures and similar algorithms. So to make the long story short I basically need a crash course (Good Book) on data structures before I attempt something at the Master level. Thanks in advance.

    It does not really matter, I know enough programming that if I see a particular alogirthm in one language I will know how to code it in another. The course I am taking in the Spring is on general alogrithm concepts. I do not believe it focuses on any one particular language. If I had to pick a language though I would choose Java.

    C++ and Java lend themselves well to studying data structures. I'll have to see what the book I have is when I get home. Knuth has an excellent series of books on algorithms and data structures that uses a variant on ASM.
    Programming is a branch of mathematics.
