Aviation Mathematics

Hi everyone,
In a very soon while Im going to take my GCSE options. Im working to become an airline pilot so I have the subjects planned out well. The list goes
Mathematics
Science (physics, chemistry)
Geography
English
French
P.E (compulsory at my school but the leadership awards would look good on my CV)
(possibly Business studies)
And regarding Mathematics Im wanting to know what kind of maths pilots do. Ive done some research but people simplify it to much and say "we leave it to the computers"
Would the kind of math you do consist of
Formulae Speed, Distance & Time
Mass, Area & Volume Trigonometry
I found that off somewhere but I really want the pilots here to tell me what math you use and which one I should take.
Thanks
