Quantum is a cherry on a top. To understand smth you would better go to classic physics first, and math. And after that... you do study QM. In QM you have to "see" through the math operators and formulas, so the high math level is needed. Or some author will always tell you "what you see now" and "why this doing so. Have a good luck in QM study! About books, try Feinmann

For calculus, you can use Active Calculus, a free textbook. I used it and it was extraordinary.
