And the full URL (I really dislike hidden URLs):

That was a good blog article, thanks for posting it.  I agree with a lot 
of what he says, in particular about the way math is taught.  As I have 
said, I didn't mind the concepts so much as attention to arcane detail. 
  I actually do what he's been doing, that is revisiting math as I need 
it while running across it in research papers.

I still think, however, that the vast majority of programmers can get by 
with basic algebra, discrete math, and a high level understanding of 
calculus.
