   Probably up to algebra, if that, is my guess.

   Algebra should be enough, but some trigonometry would be handy to understand inductive and capacitive loads, and their effect on the input power.
   If you want to get a state license you may need this, but to work for a licensed contractor you may not.

   You will need algebra and some trig if you want to be a SKILLED electrician. Any idiot can pull wire and install a circuit breaker. Getting your state license and knowing what you’re talking about will translate to a higher paycheck.

   Not much if all you want to do is wire your wall outlets, but if you want to work with the big dogs, plan on getting some skills.
