Something I seem to struggle with is knowing how to count primitive operations. In particular, I'm not sure how Line 11 of Algorithm 1.2.1 costs as many as 5n operations. I find that it's also difficult to follow some of the algorithms without a visual aid of some kind.
All in all, sections 1.1 and 1.2 were relatively straightforward; having taken algorithm and data structure courses previously I appreciated the review. The intensity and depth of the mathematical elements has been a bit of a learning curve though.
