How much of math does one need to know in order to do something meaningful with computer science?

Can you name some areas of math? I'll start with what I'm learning or intend to learn.

1. Linear Algebra
2. Calculus
3. Fourier Series
4. Statistics
>>
Basics of philosophy (namely Logic) wouldn't hurt.
>>
Descrete math/structs.

Set theory
Boolean algebra
Graph theory

Not a maths skill but the ability to read and understand whitepapers / scientific publications / scholarly articles is very important.

I will look into those. Roughly how long does that take? How deep need I go into these?
>>
Probability, Bayes Theorem

I took 1 semester of descrete math in high school and it helped a bit. I'm nlt sure how deep it goes but I hear it's important.

Basic math, logics. You don't need anything else, elementary school maths will be enough. You just need common sense and practice. Everything else is only useful if you're specialising for something.
