I generally don't need to know math at all. But I'm just a boring developer, I'm not working on AI or big data / data science (ie. cool stuff) But to expand on my point, I basically never use anything I learned in college. I had one semester of assembly programming where I did a little kernel programming (I don't program in assembly or mess with kernels), one semester of Java programming for data structures (ok, I use data structures but they're pretty simple to understand), one semester of c++ programming just to learn the language, etc. A mish-mash of concepts and languages. What do I need for work? These days I program in C# in Visual Studio. Great language and IDE but I didn't learn it at the university. Learning WPF, WCF, ASP MVC, etc... you just have to sit down and grind it out, its not really university learning stuff. In terms of math being hard... I think its more the case that young people are terrible students... Sit in the front of the class, take notes, form a study group!, ask questions online, learn how to learn math... I for one was not a good student, but I blame myself and my laziness and not the inherent difficulty of undergraduate math.
