Mathematics and game programming go hand-in-hand.
Vectors are the most obvious example I can think of. They are used to handle a multiple of game aspects, including collision detection.
Other mathematical algorithms and formulas are used constantly, such as an algorithem for finding the shortest path.
And of course, basic mathematics are needed, too. If you have 1000 HP in a game, and you take 200 damage, you'll need to use subtraction for the program to know you now have 800 HP.

Do you suck at physics chemistry as well as engineering if you are good at math but bad at programming?
No, all the others are much more math-related than programming.
Why is it that there are people who are good at Math but terrible at Science?
Because math and science are two different entities altogether, although math is the language of sciences like physics, chemistry(except for organic) and engineering, there are sciences that don't use a ton of math(computer science for example, there were so many programming courses that don't rely heavily on math, and the only programming courses that do depend on math are game programming courses and algorithms). Biology is another example of a science that doesn't really depend on math
Why is it that programming is harder than math?
That's not necessarily true at all. It depends on the individual person. Some people find programming harder than math. Some people find math harder than programming. Some people find both programming and math to be pieces o' cake. Some people are afraid of both programming and math, and so they find both to be hard. And some people have no idea what programming or math is.
Do I need to be really good a math to figure out computer programming?
It helps to have a basic math education. Most programming does not require using math at all. The calculations a lot of the time built into the programming code and is done for you
What majors are best for you if you are good at math but terrible at accounting finance and programming?
Mostly any engineering major(except any computer related engineering disciplines), as well as a math major.
If you are good at math can you do programming?
Yup
Why are people who are bad at maths good at programming?
programming requires a lot of basic math and some basic algebra. it can be hard to get a good job at programming withought knowing much math.
What majors can you do if you're good at math but not at biology and programming?
Lots, biology and programming are not a necessity
What is use of directx?
Microsoft DirectX is a collection of application programming interfaces (APIs) for handling tasks related to multimedia, especially game programming and video, on Microsoft platforms
Why are people who are experts at math terrible at programming and vice versa?
Not necessarily, in fact, being good at math helps you calculate things in programming. You just need some practice and really good math and English skills
Does being good at math but not biology and programming help you with physics chemistry and engineering?
Yes, math is more closely applicable to physics, chemistry, and engineering, than biology and programming are.
What university programs have a lot of math in them?
Majors with a lot of math: Physics, Chemistry, Computer programming, Accounting, Math, Engineering and Architecture.
