I would highly recommend reading:

  - A Course of Pure Mathematics (G. H. Hardy). I read this before I started my undergrad in CS/Maths. Free Online.
  - University Calculus (Hass, et. al.). This was reading for my first year, and continued to be useful throughout. Expensive.
  - A Book of Abstract Algebra (Charles C. Pinter). I read this after my degree, but boy, do I wish I'd had it _during_ my degree. Fairly cheap.
  - Linear Algebra Done Right (Sheldon Axler). Moderately priced.

I can't remember which of the texts I had on Number Theory were good at this point, but I do remember that it was quite hard to locate one which was tractable. There's a whole heap of fields which I chose to avoid (woo for joint degree!) but now I kinda regret it -- although I wouldn't have easily given up any of the comp. sci. modules I did...

I would always recommend working through Hardy first, regardless of what else you do.

I don't know of any good websites for this stuff. You may be able to find reading lists on public-facing university module/course web pages, which will help bolster this list.

It may be cheaper to buy access to your local uni's library than try to buy all of the above books. The uni I attended is around £70 a year for a non-student.

Your best bet is to get a notebook and the book that interests you most and work through that book, then the next, and so on. If you get stuck, as someone with a maths degree what the heck's going on :-p

>Linear Algebra Done Right (Sheldon Axler).

Thanks for this , i had been trying to read G. Strang's one and this one seems to be a more compact refresher on the course!

Could be b/c of my level of knowledge but to follow Strang's one to begin with , i had to watch those MIT lectures online in the begining.
