Obviously that depends on how much math you know. Have you done say second
year university calculus?

Thanks

Does anyone teach differential geometry at your university?

Calculus is not a prerequisite for metric spaces. Topology would be more
helpful.

More to the point would be an introductory course in general topology.
Or maybe normed vector spaces from linear algebra.

Topology is not a prerequisite for metric spaces. Metric spaces are a
special case of topological spaces.

I said it would be helpful, I did not say it was a prerequisite.
LEARN TO READ AND COMPREHEND, especially if you wish
to study mathematics, which is terse and precise.

What you said is completely wrong. A person who is struggling to
understand metric spaces will not find topology to be helpful.
Calculus would be more helpful.

Dave Seaman has been posting in sci.math (= net.math)
since at least October 1983, unless there have been
more than one Dave Seaman using a Purdue University
e-mail account posting to sci.math. He may not be
a research mathematician, but I don't think "if you
wish to study mathematics" is an appropriate attack
to use on him.
