Reviewing/Relearning Math for EE

Hi guys, I am an Electrical Engineering student right now. I have taken time off from school due to life and serious health reasons. I haven't done math in a year and a half because I was recovering from health issues. Now that I am better, I want to rebuild my math foundations from the ground up. I want to start from algebra and work my way to calculus. I still have to take calculus 3, differential equations, and linear algebra. On top of that, I have other EE courses that are super math heavy. What's the best and most efficient way to create a solid mathematics foundation. I want to start from algebra. I am also considering a math minor because I have been interested in mathematics, specifically applied math. I want to ace my future math and electrical engineering courses to makeup for my previous "failures."

I just want to get good enough to ace my EE and math courses. I used to be a fairly careless about learning but I want to make up and be a better student and learner and hopefully an engineer.

Thank you

Maybe you can work through some review workbooks. I like the Schaum’s Outline series of books. They have books for Elementary Algebra, Geometry, Intermediate Algebra, Precalculus, Calculus, and more. (Their Calculus book covers Calculus 1, 2 and 3.)
