Partial and ordinary differential equations, linear algebra, and calculus. Most math more advanced than this are useless for all real applications in physics. Some like topology, differential geometry and complex analysis are used in mathematical physics research, but most physicists will never have to know what topology or complex analysis even is. Other branches of math such as set theory and number theory have nothing to do with physics at all.
-
you need them all trigonometry .. algebra matrix math linear algebra .. calculus... differential calculus..
there is nothing that is not used
there is nothing that is not used

a better question would be what type of math is not used in physics...the further you go in physics, the more math you will use
-
besides all of it?
