It means that you must, prior to attempting university level physics, understand geometry, trigonometry, and much of pre-calculus, and that you should at least concurrently be learning calculus. You must also make sure that when you attempt to study early undergraduate physics that you keep a clear idea of what the equations "really mean" and how to "train your intuition" to understand when certain calculations have given you unreasonable results and when they haven't.
