What does mathematics have to do with programming?
How often do you have to solve pure mathematical or algorithmical problems?

I heard that math can be very important in programming. I am a confident python programmer, and have started C++.

So far I have not encountered anything where I need to use any real math.
I have had to use logic and a bit of problem solving, but that's about it.

I also wanted to know: does a particular part of coding (software engineering or game development) use maths more?

It depends completely on what kind of systems you program. But your experience is common: most programming is done on workflow support systems of one kind or another, which rarely require any math.

But there are fields where this is different: scientific computing, obviously. 3D graphics (but not so much if you use an engine someone else developed). Algorithmic trading.
