Your advice is appreciated, but if I substitute one of the math classes with something else 70% of my energy will go into the one non-math and non-cs class (no kidding!) which would be even more detrimental to my ability to master the material - and also to my GPA, as you have noticed.
Besides, I am at a really small college and somewhat limited by the rotation of courses. Next semester there are 4 classes that I would love to take, the semester after that only 1... (you can probably guess that I am beyond the core requirements for the major and just taking electives now)

"Besides, I am at a really small college and somewhat limited by the rotation of courses."

And people say going to a smaller college is better...

Calculus III is usually Multivariable Calculus or Vector Calculus so if you're familiar with Calculus III, it shouldn't be that much of a problem. Many schools call Differential Equations Calculus IV. Linear Algebra usually has Calculus II as a prerequisite though I think that it's easier to do after Multivariable. You might want to grab a calculus book that covers Multivariable and take a look or work through problems. There's one online by Gilbert Strang at MIT | Textbook Publications | Calculus by Gilbert Strang

Many students have trouble with Discrete Math because the math looks quite different compared to what they're used to in high school. One of the most popular books for Discrete Math is Discrete Mathematics and its Applications by Rosen. Another book that I like is Discrete Structures, Logic, and Computability by Hein. And if you want the ultimate resource, there's Concrete Mathematics, A Foundation for Computer Science by Graham, Knuth and Patashnik. The latter book is more advanced but makes for a nice reference and provides more details on some things than the other books. I've gone through Shai Simonson's online videos of his Discrete Mathematics course at Ars Digita: Discrete Mathematics and this should give you a feel for the subject. MIT has an online textbook for one of their older Mathematics for Computer Science at MIT OpenCourseWare | Electrical Engineering and Computer Science | 6.042J Mathematics for Computer Science, Fall 2005 | Readings

There's an online book on Graph Theory at Graph Theory and you can get somewhat of a feel for it by going through the first chapter.

Another interesting book is Numbers, Groups and Codes by Humphreys and Prest. It covers a lot of discrete math areas but has a bit of a focus on public key codes.

For E&M, I'd suggest going though Walter Lewin's Physics 2 course videos at MIT OpenCourseWare | Physics | 8.02 Electricity and Magnetism, Spring 2002 | Home
If you've already had Calc I-III, Purcell's book is a classic that you might want to read: Amazon.com: Electricity and Magnetism, Vol. II: Edward M. Purcell: Books

The Intro to Electrical and Computer Engineering may be similar to Circuits and Electronics at MIT. You can watch course videos at MIT OpenCourseWare | Electrical Engineering and Computer Science | 6.002 Circuits and Electronics, Spring 2007 | Home and the lecture notes are there too. The guy that teaches it is very good and very entertaining. I like the course textbook too: Foundations of Analog and Digital Electronic Circuits.

Gilbert Strang has video lectures of his Linear Algebra course at MIT OCW. There are assignments, quizzes and solutions at the site. Having his book helps but you can get a general idea of the material from the videos.

I didn't get into MIT and I'm still too bitter to play Half Life or use their open course ware.

Or am I?

You can find EE and Physics at Berkeley but Physics is audio-only.

You're too young to be bitter anyway. As a student and computer scientist or software engineer, you use what is available.

Expect to spend about 10 hours per week outside of class for multivariable calculus. My class also met about 3 hours per week. If your other classes have just as much of a workload, you will be busy, but I think you could manage if the courses interest you.
