Yeah I need to build some basic algorithm for recommending users and having assigning weight to it. Advance math really helps solve a lot of problems

Yes, the fields which matter the most are Statistical Mathematics and basic Arithmetic amongst many others.

Maths is a useful tool. It has so many applications that you can't run away from it.

Even If frontend Developers don't need "advanced math" they need basic mathematics to solve problems in margins, padding, box-layout and more things like that.
