Sungmo David’s Answer
Typical engineering track mathematics would include: calculus 1-3, differential equations, and a semester to year of advance mathematics which involves a culmination of all the previous math courses you take. I would also incorporate a semester of linear algebra or probability/statistics which will be useful for other science based courses that is also required to graduate

Aerospace engineering relies heavily on advanced mathematical concepts to calculate flight paths, structural integrity, and fluid dynamics.
High School Preparation: Take the highest level of math available at your school, ideally aiming for AP/IB Calculus (AB or BC) and Statistics.
What You Will Study in College: Your engineering degree will require you to master several advanced college-level math tracks:
Calculus I, II, and III: For computing structural rates of change and multi-dimensional forces.
Differential Equations: Crucial for modeling aerodynamic systems and physical motions that change over time.
Linear Algebra: Used to compute complex vector matrices in flight dynamics and control systems.

Hi Tayan, as the others have stated, the math needed for Aerospace Engineering are Calculus and Linear Algebra. If your school offers AP Calculus try to do that. Sometimes, local colleges allow for High School students to take those classes if their schools don't offer them.
