Is being very good at Maths necessary for becoming a developer?

Is being very good at Maths necessary for becoming a developer? Because I am poor at Maths. Am I just wasting my time trying to persuade my dreams? I can't understand many Python commands and I am having steady progress with HTML CSS JS etcetera which is Web designing. But my father says I should persue coding rather than Web designing

Marina Vss John Littlewood ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Edensor_Littlewood ) an English mathematician, wrote in his book, which I read back in school: "Poor teaching of mathematics will make you disgusting to you even if you are a born mathematician."

Glitched Personality How much does a math tutor cost in your city? There is a proposal to ask your parents to hire a tutor for you. I understood school mathematics well because we had a very good teacher who could explain. At the institute, mathematics was much more complicated and the teachers did not care to be understood. Therefore, I went to the tutor several times. Thanks to him, he began to understand what he did not understand.

Glitched Personality Tell us about your tutor: what subjects does he teach you? I do not know English very well, therefore I translate using translate.google.com If possible, please write without abbreviations (for example yrs)

Nope. He doesn't. But he used to be a geek like me in his childhood. He says that some people have published so called 'tools' in which we only have to specify what we have to do and all code part is done behind the scenes

personally, yes but not a lot. You need at least a good understanding of some basic algebra. math is simply convenient in programming.
