Question
What math classes will you need to take in college in order to become an Anesthesiologist ?
All anesthesiologists are physicians and will therefore need to meet the minimum requirements for admission/matriculation at the medical school they elect to attend. Since the schools vary, the specifics are available from them---check the various schools' online catalogs. In general, superior performance up through first-year-of-college calculus and intermediate level statistics is necessary. Considerable command of advanced math skills will be needed to be successful in chemistry (stoichiometry) and physics as well.
