What kind of mathematics do I need to know for the TSA?
The TSA does not test for advanced mathematical knowledge. You certainly do not need to have taken Further Mathematics at A-level to answer any of the mathematical questions on the TSA.

As long as you have a solid grasp of algebra and a knack for problem solving you will be fine.
