I don't feel like I've needed math skills for programming — certainly not any advanced math skills. But, you need a fundamental understanding of logic for programming and for math. Learning higher math skills may help with that, maybe? I don't know, I was always good at math until I took Calculus 2 in college. Then I couldn't keep up any more. I think that's why I dropped out.
I never studied algorithms either, but I think those become helpful when you find a performance problem that you need to optimize. For most of what I work on though, I don't need to know anything about them.
Of course, if you are in data engineering I'm guessing it all becomes really important.
