Becoming a Web Developer

I definitely agree with the posters that said you need to have a passion for it. It's like anything else... If you don't enjoy what you're doing, you're going to hate it and that doesn't help anything. With that said, HTML, CSS and Javascript are a great place to start. You can build up from there, but those are the basic building blocks of the web that any developer should know.

If you do computer science... It's a lot of solving real world problems with math then putting that solution in code form. It's more about problem solving than coding and math is backbone of that, so it's very important and should not be referred to as "hilarious". You might not know it but it's math that allows technical progression

Compsci isn't about making applications, that's Software Engineering. Compsci is about the application of algorithms or optimization and being able to control exactly what the computer does and how to program it to do that exact task using the least amount of instruction.
Again, depends on your definition of useful. If you've ever sorted your files by name, date modified or whatever, there's an application doing that. I'd imagine that's pretty useful. Dijkstra's algorithm enables transit travel planners to come up with the most optimized routes. Pretty useful, needs lots of math.

you are right with these ones althrough there are plenty of apps to be made that do not require math

like youtube downloader

that has so many searches the #1 probably banks a lot

if you want to become a web developer first you need the always mentioned html/css.
if you want to do frontend you can then go with js, bootstrap, some js framework like angular4 etc(bear in mind this is just a summary) what you end up learning will depend on your experience during the learning process
Wordpress, many websites run on wordpress so learning something about it could get you far
For backend. some will say php and mysql others will recommenr MEAN stack. you will decide which one suits you.
But you can make it as a developer. its not going to be easy, but you can do it.Just keep learning if even in small chunks and keep applying what you learn.
