Honestly, I would say skip calculus and go for linear algebra instead.

Really, 90% of the advanced mathematics I do is linear algebra, and I don't have a code-monkey job. Linear algebra has so much mathmetics bang for very little complication bucks.

Take them both.

Those subjects are the foundations on which practical and applies computer science and programming are built. Not having a thorough understanding of them is like building a house without an understanding of its foundation. Don't be surprised if your magnificent Swamp Castle burns down, falls over, then sinks into the swamp if you don't know about foundations.
