I don't know how to read. I just read random papers and articles until I find my way. But that's a problem, as it is definitely not systematic learning and no peer pressure to learn.

Textbooks really help to provide context. This is where I got most of my basics from: SICP, EOPL, TAPL, CTMCP.

As for general mathematics, learn the basics of linear algebra, complex analysis and functional analysis. I don't really have pointers for that but there are a lot of good books. I have benefited tremendously from learning those early on.
