There are certain areas of Photography, namely scientific photography that require some amount of math to calculate things such as depth of field, shutter speed needed for a very fast moving object and so on.

Flash photography occasionally requires math, although most modern cameras and flash systems do a good job of metering a scene correctly. There are times where it may fail to meter correctly or you have a more specific purpose that requires more than a scene's average exposure and knowing the very easy calculations required can help.

Most of the math involved in photography deals with ratios and the inverse-square law, learning the basic math involved can sometimes make photography easier or quicker but it is certainly not requirement.

In the links below there are some great articles that explain these ideas.
