I would like to jump in here and agree you. You can program some really cool stuff with a very minimal knowledge of math.

Anything beyond understanding some basic Algebra and Geometry concepts isn't required in order to program.

Most of the stuff (at least that I have run into) is just organizing data into a visual (like a report or graph) that will allow someone to make informed decisions. This only requires basic math (averages, percentages). If you can filter data, perform basic math functions on that data, spit it back out onto a report or graph then you can program for the majority of business needs.

The only time advance mathematics would be needed is if you are coding for scientists/mathematicians that want to apply advanced math to their data.
