Hi I'm a tech enthusiast in his early 20s who didn't take Biology in high school due to certain unavoidable reasons. Now, luckily, I've been selected for a BSs in Information Systems course from a major university. It will start in a few months. And oh, I want to enter the field of data science, with all things considered.

I already know some data science-related coding, and have been an intern at an entry-level startup and did some AI-related stuff and data cleaning. However, I can already feel my lack of math knowledge affecting my self-studies, as I read tutorials and come across math notations regarding equations that describe a machine-learning algorithm, etc. For example, I struggled with the following equation for calculating the sum of squared residuals in linear regression. SSR = Σᵢ(?ᵢ - ?(?ᵢ))².

So now that you get an idea of how disconnected I've been from math in the past 3 - 4 years, please point me to the topics in MathIsFun I should familiarize myself with. And also, please recommend good books considering the level of knowledge I have now.
