All you really need for that back is algebra, trig, calc I and calc II. A basic knowledge of differential equations would be helpful for some of it. A bit of both vector calculus and linear algebra are helpful too.

For the large majority of the book though, all you'll really need is algebra and trig, with basic properties of differentiating and integrating.
