As others have mentioned, you don't strictly need that much maths to be a programmer - and almost none for web development, for instance. It does depend a lot on what you do.
I'm an interactive designer, and certainly not a good mathematician (not to mention truly awful at mental arithmetic), but the maths I use mostly - trigonometry, vectors, matrices, some basic calculus - I mostly picked up while I was working on things.
There are things I wish I knew a bit more about no doubt, but considering I left school at 16 with a C in maths, I think I've managed pretty well so far!
