Don't let this put you off! I have a CS degree, and I also pretty much suck at math (at least compared to many CS majors).

There are many paths you can take through a CS degree, and it's entirely possible to come out with useful and applicable knowledge without having to deep-dive in math. It just means you're more likely to end up in, say, web-dev than building 3D graphics engines. For me that's been a perfectly acceptable outcome.

And besides, a CS degree takes a few years - there's plenty of time to brush up on math if you're really interested.
