Would you be able to list which math courses you took? That way others will have a better idea of how strong your background is.

few of the undergrad courses
Calculus - 70/100
Algebra- 96/100
Differential Equations-96/100
Numerical Analysis with C++- 85/100

Though I got poor marks in Real Analysis but I got good marks in all courses related to Differential Equations.
Apart from that I have chosen Graph Theory,Economics and English Literature as my optional subjects.


Masters Courses
I got B+ and B grades in Differential Equations, Finite Elements Methods, Probability ,Numerical Analysis, Data Structures and Algorithms, Graph Theory

Also I got B+ in my Dissertation and Semester Projects which are based on Differential Quadrature Method(one of the numerical method).
