If programming = "The ability to program a computer to do something aka giving instruction to a machine" then you don't need math. If programming = "The ability to solve problems by modelling them as computational problems and coming up with the solution aka algorithm and then using computer to solve the problem". Then you do need math. Remember, you can be a good mechanic without being an engineer but there will always be the ceiling of mechanic that you cannot cross.
