Just know there is no “fast” way - mathematics is a hard subject and everyone hits a wall at some point (of course some sooner, some later). Given you have done calc 2, I would either go with multi variable calculus or get going with proofs. A good place to start with the more abstract stuff is get a book on proof writing (Velleman has a good book on this). Once you do this and understand the logic you can dive into linear algebra, real analysis, or abstract algebra. You don’t need these in any particular order but you do need the basics if you ever want to learn the hard stuff. If I were you I’d go in this order:
Multi variable Calc
Proof writing (velleman)
Charles pinters abstract algebra
Linear algebra (Axler)
Real analysis (kenneth ross)
At this point you’ll have a good grounding, strengthen it by going through
Dummit and Foote abstract algebra
Baby Rudin (exercises are great)
Anyways take this all with a grain of salt. These are just the books I myself like. The most important thing though is finding books that you will 1) stick with and 2) are challenging but not so challenging that you are completely confused. Try your absolute best to avoid solutions until you give a problem a good shot. Some people will shut on my suggestions but I’ll just say again it doesn’t matter the MAIN thing is finding a book YOU will learn from and this is individual. Best of luck to ye and be very patient because there is no quick way about it. If you go through the books I recommend though I can guarantee you’ll have enough math under your belt to tackle much more advanced stuff. Cheers
