Same thing I'd suggest for programming: pick a project and do it with
the math you're relearning.  Almost as good would be to do the problems
at the end of the chapters.  You don't really learn the stuff until you
have to use it.  So, maybe re-read some of your old physics texts, and
do a physics problem or two that will exercise your math skills.

Just my two cents,
Martin
