Ask HN: How can a dummy like me learn algorithms?

I don't have a CS degree. I sucked at math in high school. I never took calculus. I need to learn the classic algorithms to frow as a programmer. I have found some resources on coursera and some books, but most require knowledge of proofs and other maths stuff I never learned. Can anyone point me to some resources for learning enough basic maths to then learn algorithms?

I realize that I probably sound like a complete idiot here. I genuinely want to better myself and I'm humbly asking for help.

TIA Alan
