Must learn math for Data Analysis?

Hey everyone, I'm a self taught developer and I happened to be interested in Data Analysis. While Treehouse helps me with the programming part, I know there's more to learn. Can anybody help me what to learn in math to be a good Data Analysist? :D Thank you for your answers!

I mean you don't necessarily Need to know math, but that wouldn't work out very well if your trying to go into a field like data analysis. If you do however decide to learn math then I would suggest the following (Start from top to bottom)...

Algebra Pre-calculus Calculus Linear algebra Probability Statistics

This is just what I Think you would learn, yet again I haven't went to far in depth with data analysis so this of course is just a opinion.

Anyways hope this helps!
