I'm not a native English speaker, but i'm gonna to university for studying Finance, my math is not really good, how to get ready to the high level Mathematics ? Is there some online course to recommend?

Firstly, thanks for helping!
I'm a Chinese student, I'm worried about my college math course, could you give me some methods to preview the math or some fundamental online course? Especially, I don't know the technical vocabulary of math.
Sincerely thank you.
