Math requires structure thinking, so does computer science. The best programmers I have met either had a degree in mathematics or it was the subject they did really well in. In terms of day-to-day usage, it depends on what kind of development you do and in which sector. For example, web developers tend to not worry about math almost at all, video game developers, especially game engine one's deal with math a lot. Sector is really important as well, if you work for a health insurance company you might need to understand statistics, finance companies can deal with large data set and algebra level financial formulas. Of course, I'm speaking in generalities. In my opinion learning math is useful, in some jobs it's a necessity, in others it's not.
