I don't think you need to be mathematically inclined, but if you aren't then you probably won't enjoy programming very much (though you can certainly be competent at something without enjoying it). Not that daily programming involves a lot of non-trivial math, but for me programming is essentially a collection of little problems to solve, which I enjoy. Math, at least the parts of it I enjoy, is the same thing, a collection of little problems to solve. Granted, this is coming from someone who enjoys math (the parts I understand anyway) and programming. I'd be curious to hear from someone who enjoys programming.
