Now which of my 3 calc courses and linear algebra course will I find useful in the biological sciences? Biochemistry and cellular biology in particular.

Biology is mostly memorization. It's only worth taking for the chicks.

i haven't used any of my maths in any of my classes except for a small amount of differential calculus i used when talking about molecular orbitals and solutions to the schrodinger equation in organic chemistry.
that was it. but since i've taken all these maths i can honestly say i'm way smarter than any of the other weabs in my classes.
The origins of many of the formulas you use come from calculus, but they are generally not shown in this light as the average science student will have trouble understanding them.

Yeah, I was all oh wow cool when I learned that all the constant acceleration equations of motion can be derived easily through calculus. Also, when I saw that all of the growth and decay stuff in chemistry comes directly from differential equations.
