What programming languages can be mastered without mathematics?
Hello. I used to dabble in scripting a lot (Pawn, Lua) and now I have a desire to do something more serious, namely programming. Knowledge of mathematics at the level of grades 6-7, that is, as such, I have no knowledge of either algebra or geometry, almost zero. I know that mathematics will be useful to any programmer, but it so happened that there is no time to study it, and without a tutor (which costs a lot) it will take too much time, but still, there are areas / branches of programming where mathematicians level 7 class will be enough, advise something from this list and in general, what programming languages can you really learn and make money with them, with such basic knowledge of mathematics? I heard that in the same Java you can get by with basic knowledge, is this true?
PS If you need to learn some small part of the course of the same algebra, which is really needed, needed, I think I can, since there is no other way.
Everything is clear with WEB programming, thanks. Yes, I understand that in any language there are situations when knowledge of higher mathematics or geometry is needed. The question was asked in order to find out in which niches such situations arise less often with the need to use knowledge of mathematics and where they can get it at all, I have heard more than once that mathematical problems are asked at an interview.

And if not the web - the same thing.
Mathematics will be needed if you go into the field of development where mathematics is needed, in most of the applied problems, mathematics does not smell. The study of a programming language itself has nothing to do with mathematics.
It’s just that the mathematical mindset is often what predisposes you to doing programming, while you may not know mathematics itself.
Do not poke your nose into science, DSP, machine learning, computer graphics, cryptography - everything else is done without big mathematics, at the level of a maximum of 7th grade of school, and more often 4 is enough.
In general, once again I will say what others have said. Almost all programming languages can be learned without much knowledge of mathematics. There, what you need to do is to understand the commands of the language, the ideology and how to program in it.
Another question arises where to go with knowledge of the language. Sites can be riveted without knowledge of mathematics, scripts can also be made. But if you want to go into machine learning, then you have to get into mathematical statistics. If you want to create a game engine, then you need matrix and linear algebra.
Better than any, but go to the managers. Programmers who do not know mathematics (math logic and set theory) hinder the development of the industry. A manager is quite an honorable profession.
In my opinion, it is better to teach the one that would be interesting to study yourself, and not the one that "really learns and makes money with it." And if you need mathematics, then be sure to spend time studying.
Almost the entire web does not require knowledge of mathematics. Here, the general adequacy and the humanities are more important, so that pressing a button starts a process that is as close as possible in logic to an analogue from the real world.
Good languages to start with: Golang and PHP.
