What Math is Essential for Understanding Physics?

[gravikiran]

Hi Viewer,

I am a self learner and very much aspiring to become a Theoretical Physicist.

To this regard, I would like to get help in terms of what are the most fundamental and most required areas of Mathematics that I should learn to understand Physics.

Please help.

Thanks,
Kiran.
