'Math' is an anti-intellectual term.
Mathematics are wide and diverse, with several branches. Arithmetic, algebra and calculus are not the whole of mathematics. Not even including statistics.
While some kinds of mathematics are not much related to modern development, like calculus, most development includes some kind of mathematics, even if it is too subtle or obvious to be classified as mathematics.
With a minimal including point of view there are discrete mathematics, as described in the Khuth book (the book is called Concrete Mathematics). Programming is full of discrete mathematics.
In the world of videogames, GPU programming is an application of linear algebra. Shaders are understood in terms of linear algebra.
A more including point of view dictates that logic is another branch of mathematics, and no one can't develop any software without logic.
