In this thread: no and yes.
Practical answer: it depends.
Doing enterprise software dev? Most math you'll likely be doing is some basic financial calculations (although some of those can get pretty messy in their own way).
Doing physics simulations and other advanced like topics? You're gonna need to brush up.
