From a search for Griffiths quantum mechanics prerequisites:

Griffiths: You should have a solid background in calculus, ordinary differential equations, basic partial differential equations, and a little bit of Linear Algebra. I suggest you do all of the problems in this book as they are very helpful for understanding the math of quantum mechanics.
