No. Knowledge of Geometry and Maths is need for Graphics/Game Programming, not for 3D Animation, but u'll study some basic math concepts( like 3D matrices....etc ) which are needed for Graphics & animation in a 3D Animation Course.

Means if i want to model a 3d object i'd feel the need of maths and geometry. But i'd not feel so while I'm animating the same?

Yes. But i remember one of my UG classmate who did an animation course told me that they taught 3D matrices........ :-|
