These are great insights! Thanks so much. Do you think it's worth going through pre-calc/calc deeply? I assumed I should do that first, but it would take quite a while (I haven't taken calc in ~8 years and barely remember more than the basics).

Essence of calculus[0] by 3blue1brown for the basics and the second course in the Coursera Mathematics for Machine Learning would let you get started. You would rarely need calculus more advanced than that covered in the above, and if need be you will be in a position to look it up quickly. If you can sustain your interest in ML over a long period of time and are in no hurry, I would recommend going through all the math mentioned. If you are a top-down learner, the fast.ai course on ML and deep learning for coders will get you started head-first. All the best!
