My friend reccommended me to go for this one: http://www.amazon.com/Data-Structures-Algorithms-Second-Edition/dp/0534375979/ref=zg_bs_132570011_15
And everyone on stackoverflow pretty much reccommend this one: http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Algorithms-Thomas-H-Cormen/dp/0262033844/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1370842777&sr=1-1&keywords=cormen+et+al
What would be the best book to go with?

The Cormen book is heavy reading if one does not have a strong mathematics background. A lot is just hinted at - 'it is obvious that...' etc. - and the reader has to work it out.
The Drosdek book makes for far easier reading. Perhaps a better book for a student who wants to get into data structures and algorithms.
