I'm a math major (pure math) but I'm very interested in taking a course in Quantum Physics.

What should I expect as far as the math for such a course?

If it's an introductory course, you'll be using a LOT of linear algebra (eigenstuff and Hilbert space) and multi-variable calculus, you'll use some things from Diff. EQ. but quantum mechanics relies heavily on linear algebra.
