If you are planning to program AI or 3D engines take all the physics and 
mathematics classes that you can!!!!!!

I went to a school dedicated in teaching 2D and 3D games. We covered 
everything from designing a game to programming it. 90 Percent of the time 
we spend on either learning how to render a 3D scene or learning physics and 
mathematics.

One thing is for sure, if I had decided to learn all this myself I would 
have missed a lot.

Also!! I would have never gotten the job I have as a game programmer if it 
wasn't for the math and physics skills I aquired at school, even with all my 
programming background.

And with the new consoles comming out( Dreamcast, PlayStation2 and 
Nintendo2000 ) being good at physics is a must.


I hope this answers your questions,
