Do you have the opportunity to take university classes in Economics or are you just looking for some books to introduce you to general economics? I'm in my last year of an Economics major/Math minor and I would say if you've taken all of calculus, linear algebra and a couple of statistics classes you should have a solid enough mathematical background to understand the undergrad level of Econ.

As some other posters have pointed out, though, Economics is not only about math but is also about reasoning through the decision making process of people. To understand Economics in its academic context is to understand the formalization of the decisions individuals make about how to use their resources under conditions of scarcity. If this is what you're after, then you should just get a microeconomics textbook. Similarly to Math, it's hard to point you in a particular direction to understand the whole of it, but once you have the basics down you can read a lot more broadly.
