I'm interning at a prestigious hedge fund this summer, but have been studying CS. What should I learn?

So I'm interning at  a very prestigious and competitive hedge fund this summer.  However, I'm a double major in Computer Science and Economics, and have mostly taken CS classes so far (although I just finished Financial Accounting, so have a big of the basics).  I was wondering what I should learn to catch up to the curve.  I need to teach myself modeling (would love recommendations on best way to learn) and learn about the ratios and such (EBIDTA, ...).  Is there anything else I'm missing or any general suggestions?
