This ordering of books skips set theory entirely. Add in a book on methods of proof and basic set theory after the first linear algebra book. "Book of Proof" by Hammack is fine for this. Also, "Signals and Systems" is typically an engineering course. It is usually an elective course for undergrad math majors, not all need to take it. You can drop this book, or read it after a stats book if you like.
That said though, the precalculus, calculus, linear algebra, and differential will take you at least a year to get through if you are a top student. Most people take 2 years. I would say don't really worry about any of those books. You will probably learn if you actually hate math and don't want to study it all in the next two years. This isn't meant as an insult, but rather the acknowledgement that most people don't actually like the topic even after learning it. If you don't like your classes, just shift to something you can enjoy.
