How Good at Math Does a Programmer Need to Be?
I'm working my way to a CS degree and am currently slogging my way through an 8-week Trig course. I barely passed College Algebra and have another Algebra and two Calculus classes ahead of me.
How much of this will I need in a programming job? And, more importantly, if I suck at Math, should I just find another career path?

unless programming something math intensive like 3d graphics, then basic arithmetic and just a general intuition of numbers is more than enough.
