It depends on the math they want. It could be as simple as arithmetic or as difficult as compound poisson distributions.

I wouldn't expect them to be asking anything more difficult than general maths techniques - the sort of thing you need to get in order to study history at uni. Have a rifle through your schoolbooks, I really doubt if there will be anything more taxing than that. If it were, they'd have mentioned it.

Don't study anything. Get a good night's sleep. If it's something more difficult than you can do already, it's not likely a few hours of study will help.

If you understand reach, frequency, gross rating points, CPM, and some fairly basic math, you're probably ready. And if you don't, this is probably not a job you really want.
