Books: Calculus by Michael Spivak Calculus by Thomas Finney Introduction to Calculus and Analysis, Volume 1 by Richard Courant and Fritz John Calculus, Vol. 1: by Tom M. Apostol A Course of Pure Mathematics by G.H. Hardy Elementary Analysis: The Theory of Calculus by Kenneth Ross Online Resources: There are lot of resources online like MIT OCW which provide material as well as problem sheets which you can work and hone your skills. I got this video from youtube: [this video] Hope this helps. Happy Reading!!

CS means you consistently assign variables to values, so I think you can start your math career soon. Consider this website [this video] to begin calculus...it's by MIT so I think it'll be good

What I would really suggest you is to follow the online courses from MIT, Standford and other faculties. For the first two years the majority of courses are online and you just need to schedule one lesson at day from YouTube to emulate a real college experience. I post you some links, you should be able to find the others. Linear Algebra [LINK] Calculus [this video] You could just take a classic program for the first two years and follow the lessons from YouTube. Classical courses are Linear Algebra, Calculus, Physics 1 and 2 and then maybe something in Computer Science Good luck
