As far as learning the language, no.  But if the programs you plan on writing
are math-focused, then it'll help to have an understanding of the equations you'll be using.  Of course, these days you can look up mretty much any needed equation/formula online, which can make things easier.

For a first language, I recommend Python.  I'm learning it myself.  It's pretty easy to learn, relative to other languages.  It's used everywhere, versatile and well supported.  I highly recommend the book, "Python Crash Course".
