So, I am about to read Landau's and Lifschitz's textbook on Classical Mechanics. What kind of mathematics I should be already familiar with in order to completely understand the above mentioned material? Would real-variable calculus and linear algebra be sufficient for the task?

Thanks for all the adivce.

You should also have familiarity with differential equations, but besides that yes that is sufficient.
