Back in grade school a lot of the educators believed that in order to do programming (BASIC) kids needed first to understand algebra in order to grok the concept of variables and such... I myself wasn't all that good at algebra but while programming I was able to grasp math concepts in application trying to figure out how can I get x to equal y etc. For me my math application skills improved vastly by learning software development. Even now I can get frustrated by purely algebraic problem solving puzzles, just not my thing. I can see if you are good at such things it is a great benefit to know some of the concepts where I had to do a lot more research, trial and error to get some results. But also, if that's all you are good at you probably aren't coming up with the next flappy bird. You don't really need a numerical brain but you do need to be determined solve problems, have good memory. And I think as you work with it you will exercise those abilities. I would find some computing aspect you like and research that, find some easy language/platform (or open source project already in progress) to play on and see where it gets you.
