It varies. I work with programmers who have had no more than calculus. When we have to do some statistics work, I get called in to help. Really, it all depends on the type of programming work that you're doing. For me, I started with math, and have picked up programming along the way. One side-effect of this is that I'm the only person at my job who seems to like C++. We use Delphi for coding work, and they prefer RAD languages. I like the power of C++, but acknowledge it will slow down some of the GUI development, if I ever get to that in C++.
