What kind of maths (topics) is most important and necessary to learn coding?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, sorry if I'm wrong. I'm an absolute beginner and I know nothing about coding etc. I will join college (CS) around July, just wanna know what topics of math (like i read Sets, functions are important) should i practice so that it'll easier for me to understand concepts later. Edit- I'll start with the basics, C C++ HTML (they're basic right?) Any topic of maths required for them? Thank You!

You need at the very least some knowledge of differential calculus and linear algebra to get into CS. You'll eventually learn more like discrete math, numerical analysis, computing theory, etc. in your CS program.

Discret Maths, that is integers, graphs, statements in logic, applied to computer algorithms, programming languages, cryptography, automated theorem proving, and software development.

If you are doing computational neuroscience then integration-differentiation, knowledge of various integrators, mathematical coordinate transformations, matrices, linear algebra, logic gates, and neuroscience obviously..

It depends of tasks you want to solve. In most cases basic math knowledge will be enough. Things will get to complex math if you want to work with 3D graphics, complex statistic algorithms or something like that.
