This question is probably asked often, but can someone be a decent 
programmer without any advanced math skills? To be more specific, can 
someone get by in programming with simple arithmetic (i.e. addition, 
substraction, multiplication, and division)?

I don't see how a programmer would need anything beyond simple arithmetic 
to write an email client in a programming langauage such as Delphi. How in 
the heck is geometry, trig, calculus, etc. going to aid in this type of 
project?
