How much and what type of math skill is required to become a good or really good programmer?

Question

math needs for aspiring programmer

Answer 1

I suggest picking up a book or an online resource on Discreet Mathematics. It is an important topic in Computer Science and programming, as the nature of computing we focus on in today's age is Discreet computing. Discreet Mathematics opens the doors towards Graph Theory, Boolean algebra and logic, probability, etc. These are all nice to have as tools to reference.

Also having a general understanding of basic calculus, physics, and algebra doesn't hurt!
