Re:How essential is Maths? on Friday June 03, 2016 @03:43PM (#11832704)
Do you plan to apply to Google or Microsoft? There are literally thousands of companies that aren't Google or Microsoft. And most of those companies don't have every "programmer" and their brother applying to them. I don't think you should be too worried about math. Assuming you can count, add, divide, etc. Unless you are creating advanced algorithms that have never been created before (i.e. Cryptography).

I am not a full time dev, but do write little scripts and web apps to help out my team members. I have a server that I have to support for this (no external support) and I actually like it that way.
