Hasta La Motion!

I have good experience as a motion graphics artist and I’ve taken it upon myself to work on my compositing skills. I’ve come to realize that to truly be an effective artist, knowledge of Math is essential. Math has never been my best friend, more like a bully. But I’m ready to face my fear of math so I can become the compositor I want to be.
Can Anyone suggest what math skills are essential to the Compositor, and what I should concentrate on the most. My hopes are to get a better understanding of whats going on under the hood mathematically in visual processing. What math skills will help me understand scripts, behaviors, functions and image manipulation. Any input would be appreciated. I’ve been a AE artist for years and am starting with Nuke.

thx
