Will I be able from there to read things from the entry to university level engineering, physics and maths books ?

Nah , Calculus first. At least high school level calculus. I don't know if you're taught calculus in American high schools though.

These charts are for dawdling idiots and CS majors. He doesn't need to do most of this shit. One book on Calc with proofs is enough to get started. There are only two good analysis textbooks. From there you have to decide if you care about advanced mathematics.

No. You should just read Spivak, it will be like pulling teeth but it is the superior way.

Learning general abstract algebra before you know linear algebra is definitely a bad idea
The concepts of homomorphisms, quotients, etc are quite hard to understand at first, but in vector spaces it's a lot easier and things are much better visualised

In other words, that list is useful for CS majors who want to increase their math skills because it focuses on the the math most required in CS. )

I understand. I am just a CS undergrad looking to refresh my calculus. Spivak seems to be better that way, or do you have another recommendation for my case?

I'm currently doing James Stewart precalculus.
Is it good enough for studying high school math, i'm trying to learn back to have a better understanding on it. Also im trying the Dennis Velleman's proof book, any opinion on this book too?

Stewart can be useful because of its many exercises, but whether there's a better choice or not depends on your goals, time availability and so forth. I'd say Stewart is the safest choice.

Daniel Velleman's book is a good one.

Because programming is basic entry level STEM knowledge.

Do I need to study any algebra or analysis before graph theory or can I jump straight in after I finish the last half of Spivak? It looks really cool.

Terrible recommendation. Start with a high-level language like Python or Java and move to lower-level languages as you learn more advanced concepts like memory management and bitwise operations.
