So, ars technica has this really good article about quantum theory/mechanics. You really don't need to know anything save for a little bit of logic (which you'll throw out the window on occasion) to understand it.
But I noticed something while reading through it. Quantum theory is chock full of Advanced algebra and Triginometry. :joy:!
