Introductory Finance Courses

I will be a math major at a semi target school this fall and might be interested in finance as a career path. However, I know absolutely nothing about finance/banking/financial markets/investing. What are some free resources that could help me gain some background? Are there and podcasts/courses you would recommend for a complete beginner like myself?
