I'm in my mid 30s at the moment and have been a programmer for a long time. I finally decided to take a break and get some formal education. I've been accepted in to a university to study towards a bachelor of computer science.

What I want to know is if there are any books or good resources online that can give me a leg up towards things like the math or Java programming etc that are covered in a computer science degree.

Also, I have the option to choose a general degree or mathetics and statistics or software engineering. Would it really matter on a resume which major I chose?
