I will if you allow me a slight longpost. I promise it's not as intimidating as it may seem.
Disclaimer: I'm an engineering student that dabbles on math. If that turns you off, go to /sci/'s /mg/ or /sqt/ and ask them. Or search for some college's math curriculum.

First off, a good idea to review HS content is just going through Khan Academy or such. If you want a book, as we're on /lit/, any precalc book works. I used Stewart's. Functions, graphs, and trigonometry are a must know if you wanna go further.

The usual next step is calculus and linear algebra. You may have seen a bit of this on high school, probably mostly methods and such. If you want to really know how it all works, you'll need a book with some mathematical rigour. I used Apostol's Calculus. It's dry as shit but pretty comprehensive. Spivak is another usual meme, it's a fun read. Stewart's books are usually derided for being more computational in nature but I think it's good to have them around. I would even suggest you try them first.
For Linear Algebra I used Friedberg's book. It's very good. The explanations are clear, the exercises are neat. Got nothing bad to say about it. LA is a cool subject too. 3blue1brown's series on LA on youtube also gives a basic overview of some concepts, builds a great deal of intuition. Also, it's really pretty.

If you make it this far you can go wherever. Analysis if you wanna play around with differentiation and integration, Algebra if the structures you find in LA seem fun, etc. Probably you would ask again on /mg/ or such, or maybe you would have a better idea of where to go.
Once piece of advice though, you should reject chartposting in most forms. You don't need that much structure in your learning, at all. It's a messy process, you use multiple books, you skip around them, you look ahead, etc. It's not as clear and linear as charts make it seem.
Anyways the books on this chart are though of as good generally :^)
