In my experience, the kind of math you get in engineering classes, that is: this is how you calculate integrals, now write the result, it is not really useful for programming. However, the kind of math you get in a mathematics degree, that is: we have this conjecture, now prove it, had made me a much better software developer than I was before taking these subjects. Of course, a lot of time has passed and education has changed, but the principle stands: learn to write proofs, as it will help you expand your mind.
