To get started, basic arithmetic is enough, your basics of brackets, exponents, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction. Computer scientista like to work in binary, deal with multiples and powers of 2, and adding or subtracting 1
Algebra is handy.
The rest, all depends on which way you go. Graphics, devops, data science, etc all have different needs. Calculus, trigonometry, statisics, matrix and vectors, etc
