To be a good programmer, the most important skill is to be able to understand how to convert algorithms (methods for doing things) into coherent instructions that comprise a program. Beyond that, to be a good designer, one has to be able to break down problems to build efficient algorithms that can be programmed for a computer.

you do not could desire to be solid at arithmetic. ninety 9% of the programming human beings honestly do makes use of not something greater more suitable than severe college algebra. you would be wanting to hearken to means rules, logarithms, base conversion and modular arithmetic, and for undemanding photos artwork you will additionally choose trigonometry and vector arithmetic. what's greater significant than arithmetic is the understanding of logical sequences and the belief of breaking down complicated problems into less complicated areas. yet you do not could desire to comprehend that to start up, you in basic terms could desire to be arranged to earnings it as you circulate alongside. You do of path could desire to be solid at coding, and returned, you do not start up with that, you learn it alongside the way. besides the undeniable fact that, coding ability on my own does not make you a solid programmer, any further than english spelling and grammar make you a solid novelist. The stressful section isn't writing the code, yet determining what code to write down. a solid programmer envisions the final shape of this technique (and knows how and why that shape will artwork) long previously all of it gets written.

Depends on what you want to code.
Verbose languages such as html, C, VB, java, etc. are pretty friendly without all the math.
Microsoft with their .net archeticture is trying to make everything so mindless (and huge in file size) that being a coder is going to be universally either.
The problem with wanting to program for a living now is that you'd better get a tan, put a dot on your head, and work for 1/3 of what you are able to live off of in this country. All the coding is being outsourced to cheaper resources....

It depends on what your programming. There are a lot of programs that don't perform any calculations at all. However, if you are good at maths you usually find all the other topics (Which always relly on maths) easier to understand

No, it is not.
try to write many computer programs by yourself.
You should know not only advanced maths but also statistics
Search google and yahoo for the subject you interested in.

It depends on what you are programming.
You'll need math in some way, shape or form.
What a video game designer uses will
vary from ... say ...what a CAD designer might use.
