Is it necessary to learn maths to enter into programming?
patio11: The people you are talking to are totally wrong on the second point and neither wrong nor right on the first.You will never be a good programmer unless you are very, very good at certain kinds of math.  You can start programming if you have a fair grasp of arithmetic and know that a symbol can stand in for a number.  That is, in many countries, covered in pre-algebra.Much of the math that generally gives people trouble is not needed in the day to day lives of most professional programmers.  You can also proceed quite a ways into learning foundational programming concepts (syntax, input/output, etc) before you start hitting things that will be impossible to understand without more rigorous math or formal logic.
