I ll highly recommend to watch this video first to understand the relevant branches of mathematics, This guy has did an awesome job in helping u visualize it, must watch for beginners as well as professional it ll give u a good idea of domains in mathematics which branch out to fields of programming. https://youtu.be/OmJ-4B-mS-Y

Yes math is important in programming. Specifically I would work on basic things like multiplication division addition and subtraction. Square roots are used as well. Other math is used but these are the most used.

Discrete mathematics for problem-solving and graphs search problems etc... Linear algebra for 3d calculations and operations

Programming requires a huge area of skills so being superior in math does not mean that you will succeed in coding but it certainly helps you. It depends on your goal. If you want to be better in problem-solving and optimizing algorithms maybe make some runtime analysis or even write a 3d engine I would say yes math helps you a lot but focus on the practical usage. If you want to code a OS a compiler or a mail server with a database math is secondary and you should focus more on the specific computer algorithms and technical knowledge. Overall computer science is based on math and was for a long time a subtopic of math and logic but since so many factors play a role nowadays (version controller, parallelism, project management, programming patterns, code readability and reuse) math is nothing more than a tool to make your program better and faster but not a necessity to become better in coding and managing a high quality software.

Basic idea of Math and Geometry is enough. Both Programming knowledge and Math knowledge will improve by time if you practice regularly.
