I’ve completed 120 of them or so. It’s definitely true that most of then are more challenging in terms of mathematics than programming, but there are plenty of exceptions. That said, I don’t think people without a math background should get discouraged. The math required is mostly of the type that few people are taught in school (number theory in particular) which means most people working through these problems are probably going to be encountering many concepts for the first time. Playing with the problem, getting a feel for it, and discovering neat facts through exploration, that’s the real beauty of Project Euler. It really is a pretty amazing experience.
