How much maths is involved in Computer programming?

Nothing very serious.

Only Algebra, Analysis and Numerics.

Wrong. You will want to be good at Calculus, Linear Algebra (much more complicated than normal algebra, don't let it fool you), Discrete, and depending on what you're doing, Physics classes could be helpful.

Unless you think those are all easy, but at my university they were insanely difficult :S

And as ghettolamour pointed out, it really depends on WHAT you will be programming and to what level. I'm focusing more on software engineering, AI, maybe graphical items in the future, etc.

i can still cope with calculus and linear algebra but physics is out of reach

Why would you be okay with calculus but not physics? Is it real world application that worries you?

If you are going to get a degree in CS then you have to take quite a bit of math and physics as well, but if you just want to learn about programming its probably not as crucial. However being good at math/logic is helpful.

i understand physics but not literal physics things what they are teaching out in my school
