the strang lectures on LA, any decent calculus book (khan academy or something maybe too) and then i would jump into ISLR and the karpathy Stanford lectures on DL, the rest you learn as you go adhoc.

One can't over emphasise: LA and Calc. Do that!

The rest will be a cake walk.

But you need LA from matrices to spectral decomposition and Calc from differentiation to Laplace transforms; so no easy feat. You'll need a fair amount of "give a damn" to put yourself through it.
