What kind of math? It takes me a while to learn math so any focused area would help cut down the time taken immensely (not that I don't enjoy learning tidbits like supremum/infimum)

Multivariable calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, probability theory, statistics.

Ranked from most to least essential, I'd suggest: probability, statistics, linear algebra, basic calculus, operations research, multivariate and partial and vector calculus, diff eq.

True but order of importance is different from order of study. You should really start with calculus because you can't study probability without it.
