What is your backround in mathematics?

Although I have not read "Theoretical Minimum", I have seen Susskins Lectures and he assumes the viewer has a decent knowledge of mathematics (Trig,Multivariable Calculus, Differential Equations (and Partial Differential Equations), Linear Algebra, Statistics...). Since "Theoretical Minimum" was written for a larger audience, the mathematics contained in it is most likeley watered down ( I scanned an open copy on amazon). If you would like a deep understanding of what Susskind is talking about, there is no substitute for years of practiced mathematics and physics.

Can you recommend me a book? My background is high school mathematics.
