If you're looking for a book that will give you lots of insights, then look no further than the MIT Calculus book. It's free online, I highly suggest printing it out (if you have access to some sort of binding machine, do that, I have it comb bound in 3 volumes), and I swear to god every time I sit down to read it, whether to learn more about something I'm currently learning in school or just to see what it has to say about an older topic, I end up having some sort of earth-shattering revelation within the first few paragraphs, without fail, no hyperbole.
CANNOT recommend it enough, it is what gave me a huge edge over everyone in my Calc 2 class when it came to infinite series. It's my calculus bible. And it's free!
EDIT: My school had that calc book you mentioned as the assigned text. It's worthless. What you want to invest in for extra practice problems is a Schaum's Outline. This combined with the MIT calc book is all you'll need, and then use Wolfram Alpha to give you a step-by-step solution for problems you're struggling with/stuck on.
113 should be repeatable three times like any other course, iirc. If you're worried, Math 114 is not bad at all.
Pick up these books as resources if you wish:

http://www.amazon.com/Algebra-Trigonometry-Transcendentals-Calculus-Edition/dp/0321671031
If you passed the placement test, you really shouldn't be worried.
EDIT: the first book covers calc I,II,and III at university level, so it is a great investment!
The only possible issue I see is your selection of textbook: Principles of Mathematical Economics - I've honestly never heard of this book.
The graduate school go-to textbook is Mathematics for Economists by Simon and Blume. However, I think this book would be overkill for you, as it is geared towards pure, PhD level, economics. Also, I was in a similar place to you, with respect to mathematical training at one point, and Simon & Blume proved to be too large a leap.
My advice would be to use one of the following books (in order of my preference):
1. Essential Mathematics for Economic Analysis by Sydsaeter
2. Mathematics for Economics
by Hoy
3. Fundamental Methods of Mathematical Economics
by Chiang
They'll bring your basic command, of the basic required mathematics up to scratch AND these books cover linear algebra. You will also then be in a good place to tackle Simon & Blume if you ever need to in the future. Another piece of advice: PRACTISE PRACTISE PRACTISE. For what you are doing, you don't need to have a deep understanding of the mathematics you are using BUT, you do need to be very comfortable with applying the techniques.
So, as you are working through (for instance) Sydsaeter, I would be attempting the related practice questions you find in:
Hope this helps.
P.S. Almost all of these books are available for 'free' on Library Gensis

Same series, has a book on just about every undergrad physics/math subject.
How about a Shaums? Their cheap and paperback and have lots of solved problems.
See if your parents/guardian would let you find a tutor. If this isn't practical, get a big book of calculus exercises with solutions, there's loads on Amazon (e.g. this one).
I don't know exactly what math class you're in, but the "Schaum's Outline" series contains a ton of solved problems. They're also MUCH cheaper than buying a textbook.
Like I said I'm not sure what your skill level is, but here are a few I found on Amazon.
Precalculus
Trigonometry
Calculus
try and find a pdf of shaum's outlines. they are broken up by class and the higher level stuff is broken up by subject.
here is calc on amazon
Remember the big thing is not to just watch lectures, but to spend a lot of time solving a lot of problems. Make sure you find text books with problems and solution manuals (easy to do if you look) and solve the problems. The biggest thing about learning to be an EE or subset of EE is that it takes a crap load of time and effort. It will be frustrating. Plow through it. There are big rewards at the end for those who truly want to know how and why electricity do what they do.
Schaums outlines are great:

So many subjects with so many solved problems.
