I agree that you don't have to learn anything about mathematics to become a programmer - that's how I started.

I will say that having learned relatively advanced math since my start has proven to open interesting new doors and paths of thought to me.

You don't have to learn it, but it does make a difference/change your perspective if you do.

Touch typing comes along naturally as you code and is a skill best suited to letter writing than code forging.
