Man I wish somebody had told me this stuff.. As a grad student I'm finding my math sorely lacking. Here are my reccomendations: 1) Of course, calculus. Pay attention to things like area calculations and Taylor approximations. 2) Linear Algebra (!) 3) Abstract algebra and number theory. I can't stress this enough... so many areas in CS these days use concepts from these subjects. 4) Probability 5) Graph theory
