What are the best resources to learn calculus, statistics & linear algebra & basic proofs? Assuming no background in those areas?

Most "Intro to X" undergrad text in math seem to assume graduate level knowledge in the field.Or half-ass teach concepts and then have you do proofs that aren't self-contained and nearly impossible to do based on the techniques presented in that chapter alone.

reading a standard math textbook:

>Preface
>No one reads this shit nor cares about your wife and how she allowed you to be a bad husband and write a shit book instead of spend time with her.
>Introduction
>Useless motivation, get to the point
>Chapters
>Theorem
>No proof provided. Author says it's obvious and relates to previous shit theorem 1.56
>Another useless theorem
>Outline of the proof but leaves the meat of it to the reader
>Another shit theorem
>No proof provided
>Well over a dozen homework problems that require techniques to prove it which are not covered in the book and require background material from a more advanced class
>New chapter
>Shitty forced quote at the beginning that only vague relations to the material covered
>Another shit theorem
>No proof provided
>Repeat till the end of the shitty book
>Go to Amazon
>Read how everyone rates the book 5/5 and how some old fucker from Harvard used this book in the 1960s
>Read about one guy stroking his dick and cumming in the book in 1975.
>See people recommend the book that obviously never read it

ChemEng and EE majors, why are you superior to the other disciplines?
