I'd say algebra is essential (a variable is essentially x = 1 + 1, but with code stuff). Once or twice I've had to do something slightly more complex, but never anything beyond advanced algebra.
Pretty sure it depends on the field, though, because I can imagine some software engineers in the medical or science fields needing to know calculus and physics at the very least for some of the equations they'd need to calculate/automate.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
