What are some good resources for learning about DSP (including the mathematics and algorithms necessary for actually understanding these resources)?

Let's assume that my math skills are rusty from lack of use as well, so a roadmap along the lines of:

  • Stats refresher
  • Calculus refresher
  • Solid newbie explanation of FFT
    (50 steps later...)

would be nice and hopefully result in DSP skills and knowledge approaching "competent".
