Yea - you don't have to go immensely deep into Analysis, but having some experience in it will give you an understanding of what makes the algorithms "tick" and when they break-down. This is especially true for things that involve numerical analysis - approximation techniques/diff eq's/etc. And just for clarity - while any class on Analysis is mostly proofs, it's not really about the study of proofing techniques. It will use proofs as a vehicle to discuss _analytic_ properties of functions (how limits behave at infinity, etc).
