such bad logic used here. You need to read my article on why math is not needed in programming. If I sell clothes for a living, I know that anyone who gives me $10 and buys clothes worth $7 should get a $3 change. There is common sense math used in software just like everywhere. There is basic logic used in software just like in law, philosophy, literature, etc

Math in the form of vectors, geometry, calculus, trigonometry is completely useless to be a web developer both front0end and back end. You are fooling yourself if you think being good at math will help you make a better web application or mobile application.

Like I said, there are many people I know who were terrible at math and went on to work for companies like JP morgan, Accenture, etc.

Fields like audio programming, game dev, etc require crazy math but to say that math beyond the very basics is needed in web and mobile app dev, that is just a cheap way of gate-keeping and convincing more people not to get into a relatively easy job that can actually be done by most people on the planet.
