I think if you are going to be programming for a system that is meant to do
a lot of calculations *for* math or science, maybe. I programmed on
systems that worked with taxes and child support payments for 27+ years and
had to at least have a grasp on basic math... addition, subtraction,
division, multiplication, how to figure out a percentage, etc... but never
used any higher math.
If you are planning to program most anything else, a knowledge of basic
math might help, but I am guessing you'd not need higher math, either.
