Question
is it necessary for the aeronautical engineering applicant to master all the subject you had posted before or only just understand a little about it?

Answer
Well, this is somewhat of a philosophical question isn't it.  It is doubtful that most engineers would be masters of all the nuances of physics, for example.  But they better be better than just understanding a little about it.  A good engineer can use the laws of science and math to solve real, technical problems to a degree that provide satisfactory solutions.  If he doesn't know the solution path in his head, he better know where to go to find it and be able to evaluate it's accuracy.
