Hi,
You do not need much of mathematics except for calculating the geometries and length and most of this is provided by the software itself.

You may require calculus if you are designing software for PCB

Almost none. But you need to put thinking into the tracks width and footprints.

If you can add 1 and 1... you are OK.

Hi.
I don't think you need any advanced Maths for PCB design. If are using a Software like ExpressPCB with we are using at the moment then all you need is a general idea of co-ordinates. That's geometry.
