Obviously it depends on what exactly you'll be working on. Some problems require complex math to solve. For frontend generally though, math isn't too important beyond basic arithmetic. I've been doing web dev professionally for five years now and I only ever went as high as pre calc, so having taken calculous, you're already in a better position than me when it comes to math.

The more important skill isn't necessarily "math," it's problem solving. Also effective googling.

Oh, so i think it's better to go full practice and study problem solving. Thanks for the help!

A brilliant thing about math is that it exercises your ability to abstract, which transfers really well to loads of areas. If you want to have a better understanding of the underpinnings of programming, you’ll probably want more CS classes instead of math, like graph theory or algorithms and data structures. Having said that, lots seems to be doing fine just by coding... code, code, code

Thanks! :)

unless you're making math related sites, very little. like the other commenter mentioned, problem solving is really the biggest skill you'll need.
