Not to hijack your topic but the only math I did in HS was intermediate and then geometry. Now I'm signed up for college and my counselor assigned me a pre-calc class. How can I prepare for something like that? I haven't done math for years. I need the class for my major which is computer science.

Paul's online math notes (focus on algebra section) for something written with practice problems: https://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/Alg/Alg.aspx

For lecture-style things, probably Khan Academy or Organic Chemistry Tutor on youtube.

Start working through topics and when you run into concepts you don't remember, identify them and go refresh, then continue.

Graph theory and then also semigroup things (I had a weird advising situation).

Graph theory is tough. I could never really pick up the intuition for the proofs. One of my committee members was a graph theorist and he decided to tell me there's a better way to do a proof during my defense.
