What is a programmer? What is a mathematician? For everyday web development, you hardly need any serious math in my experience. However, 3d game engine development won't get you far without proper knowledge of math. Same goes for algorithms. Graph theory applied brings you a lot of super powers in certain CS domains, which you cannot reach without Math knowledge. I think that at the intersection of Math and programming lies a lot of magic. Mazes, generated art are examples. SQL has so much more to offer, if you understand Set theory. Fraud analytics is another topic that is quite easy to handle with Graph databases. Even Arrays are nothing more than a defined Set. Functional Programming is in my experience way easier to grasp, if you understand functions like in Calculus/Analysis and not how some web programmer explains it. It is not black or white and of course great mathematic guys are not necessarily great programmers. On the other hand, I have seen a lot of code in some areas, that would seriously benefit from better Math knowledge. ;) Math is hard. It is a niche, however can be very fascinating, especially in the fields of generative art.
