Unlikley but its pretty basic... you would question the CV as you would have covered them in middle and/or high school...

No.
You only need the ones in this document.
I'd be super surprised if you get anything else that is not included here.

Hi there,
No you do not - don't worry, geometry/trigonometry isn't required here! Save your PieRSquared for the GRE/GMAT :)
