Math in Front-end web development

Hey everyone, I wonder what math knowledge is neccessary if you liked to be an outstanding individual in Front-end. As a junior I've never met any requirement, so I don't really know what to learn in math if there's any. Thank you for your help.

You will likely not need beyond fourth-grade arithmetic. Googling skills, strong ability to think logically, and an ability to learn on your own fast are more critical than high-level math.

You might write a program to perform some math, but you won't need much math in writing the program itself.

For the vast majority of program tasks, anything you might need can be handled by a simple calculator.
