MIT's courses are geared towards engineering students. The expectation is that you're either ready to, or have had calculus. Age isn't that important. You may also want to check out http://see.stanford.edu Their courses may be better suited to you. They are to me.

Math is a VERY good skill to have for programming, keep at this stuff you'll be very good when it comes job time! I wish I would have had a good background in math before getting into this. You are very smart for starting this early, good for you sir! Let me know if I can help in any way!

Would anyone say that Pre-Calc would be an important aspect to required math in this? I know up to Trigonometry, but not beyond.
