Ahh, also learn about Montecarlo Simulations. And take a Statistics course if you can (the only useful part of mathemathics anyway)

I found logic useful with regards to knowledge representation, discrete math useful with regards to (other) data structures, linear algebra useful with regards to 3D graphics, and differential calculus useful with regards to lens modelling (yeah that one's a little specific)

If you are a good programmer you can just port all this stuff to whatever you like. Most books on the issue are for C++.
