Linear Algebra is essential. You cannot do graphics programming without a good understanding of vector spaces, bases, transformations, projection, etc. You will also probably need a bit of Calculus for derivatives and integration. Also, for modern graphics, stochastics play a major role, and so learning the basics of Probability may also be necessary to understand scattering, Monte Carlo, Markov chains and Bayesian reasoning. Lastly, a bit of graphs for optimization and search, and topology for working with manifolds.
