I've never had to use calculus. Ever.

On the other hand I HAVE had to use lots of algebra, matrix transformations and trigonometry. 3D graphics is FULL of translational mathematics but it's all good fun.

I do not doubt your particular experience but it would depend on what your programmes are for. If the application involves a lot of heavy-going calculus then obviously you'd need to understand the subject of the calculation and the necessary calculus, and how to turn it into computer code.
