I think a really important thing that many people realise is that Maths is not just numbers. Arguably most of Computer Science is a kind of Maths, really Maths is just an abstract notation for describing systems. For Programmers in particularly, I think Mathematical Functions[1] and Set theory[2] are some important areas that you should look at.
