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.

Next time try some reading comprehension.

I poninted out that to study that stuff you have to do all the high-level math stuff, such als Algebra (Linear), Analysis (the most evil stuff) and numerics (probably what you refer to as calculus?).

Yes, yes, it went over my head at the time. Check my conversation above with someone that pointed it out. :)
