Can Self-Taught Math Boost My BS in Math Preparation?

[stevema]

I'm currently attending cc planning to transfer for a BS in math. However, due to poor planning, all my general ed is finished, but I still need a lot of math. Next semester, I'll be taking pre-cal and either stat or comp sci. With such a light course load, is there any more advanced math I should start teaching myself? Or anything else I should start working on to give myself a leg up in future classes? Kind feels like I'll be slacking off only taking two classes.
Thanks.

Learning this book along with pre-calc would be useful to a future math degree.

Thanks, seems perfect for me.

Also, I would recommend you read the famous book by Richard Courant "What is Mathematics?" Even if you don't understand everything or can't solve any of the problems, I think the insight provided just by being exposed to the material would be beneficial to any future math major.
