Guten tag! Ich kann ein bisschen Deutsch (und würde auch gerne üben). Zuerst muss ich sagen, das dein Englisch sehr gut ist (viel besser als mein Deutsch, wie du jetzt sehen wirst haha), und auch sehr poetisch. Also, "keep doing what you're doing," wie das zu gut Englisch heisst.
Zu deiner frage: Ich bin 27 und habe dieses Jahr (2015) das selbe Studium angefangen wie die, die du geplant hast. Ich habe bis jetzt 2 Physic Klassen und 2 Kalküls Klassen bestanden. Da von aus gesehen, kann ich dir zwei Weisheiten mitteilen:
Ok, das war alles. Hoffentlich habe ich dich nicht mit meinem peinlichen Deutsch enttäuscht. Und hoffentlich findest du meine Vorschläge nützlich.
Sag bitte Bescheid, wenn du noch mehr fragen hast. Viel Glück!
Shankar also has a nice math book to go along with his course. It can be found online...
Open Yale Courses Fundamental Physics I & II is a strong math-based introduction to physics https://oyc.yale.edu/NODE/206. The prof is Ramamurti Shankar whose books are available at amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Physics-Mechanics-Relativity-Thermodynamics/dp/0300192207/ref=sr_1_1? , https://www.amazon.com/Fundamentals-Physics-II-Electromagnetism-Mechanics/dp/0300212364/ref=sr_1_4? including a decent book called Boot Camp for Math: https://www.amazon.com/Basic-Training-Mathematics-Fitness-Students/dp/0306450364/ref=sr_1_5? Helped me a lot.
Shankar's book teaches almost everything you need: calculus, vectors, series, complex variables, ODE, linear algebra in only ~300pag.

Yale Physics Professor Ramamurti Shankar wrote Basic Training in Mathematics for the purpose of getting his students up to speed in the mathematics they need for undergraduate coursework.
Chapters of the book:
Susskind's Quantum Mechanics: The Theoretical Minimum is a good, informal place to start. I'd read it before tackling Griffiths or Sakurai. For a quick brush-up on the math, you could try Shankar's Basic Training in Mathematics: A Fitness Program for Science Students, but the basics of calculus, diff eq, abstract & linear algebra will get you started.
I bought this book to brush up on some stuff, it's pretty good.
