> IMHO math in general is overrated for general purpose programming. I had plenty of math in college in the early nineties. I rarely need or use any of it. And when I do, I need to look up a lot of stuff

The value isn't in knowing how to do math, it's in knowing when.

The value of a math class is far less in learning and remembering exactly how and, far more in learning what you can do with it so you can spot possible solutions when they arise. Expanding your mental toolkit.
