What sort of Maths is involved in A-Level Economics?

Hi, I have chosen A-Level Economics for A-Levels, the exam board is AQA. I was just wondering what type of Maths is involved in Economics, so I could solidify myself early on it because I’m not that good with maths.

All answers are widely appreciated!
Calculus and linear algebra (matrices) are probably the main things as I understand, along with all the relevant topics to support those two broader areas (e.g. algebra, functions, graphs and coordinate geometry, etc). Any probability work as well will likely be very relevant, although I don't think A-level goes into much depth in that and unis usually teach it more or less from scratch (they did on the maths degree I was doing at least so...).

Thanks for the reply! May I ask, when did you sit for A-Level Economics? I’m just curious because AQA have changed the specification since 2017 onwards.
