actually it is the programming which is a small part of maths. also you don't always need to know all maths thing for programming.

I think math is a large part of programming. When you start out, you should be okay. Eventually, you’ll need algebra and maybe geometry or trig. Data science needs statistics. Game programming requires the most, tho cuz you’ll need 3D math, trig, geometry, algebra, and maybe statistics or calc

Personal thought: Math is essential but not that important near programming, the guru math, not the basics obviously those are required everywhere. I mean if you dont know what is the median or standard deviation of a value, dude open your notepad and write a code for it. Let the computer do it for you. However talking about maths study, if you already know math and can do somehow complex addition or multiplication, it will do. You can start picking a language. But no hate, thats just what i think after my 8 years in coding. And this is talking in general, but if you be more specific, the suggestions can change accordingly.
