For developing, you want lots and lots of math and physics. Perhaps some psychology, history, and art.

For the business side, also math, accounting, and english. You''d be suprised how important (and rare) it is for a programmer/developer to be able to put together a professional looking and sounding presentation.
You only need a little math, and about physics you need almost nothing, just basic stuff. And psychology? History? Art? Are you serious?
Only a little math<>? Do you know what you are talking about. If you are to ever create a new method of doing something, in 3d, you are going to need to know lots and lots of math. Just read everything possible that you can see.
bad!
developer is a sort of large field....


programming skills, drawing skills (etc) will definitely come in handy. lots a math.

accounting (a must). Psychology may help, although you should specialise in what you need businesswise

and a second (or third) language never hurts....
About math, do you need differential and integral calculus?Taylor polinomies? Differential equations? Complex numbers? Number theory? Groups theory? Combinatory and Probability?
Of course you need to know about vectors and trigonometry but that''s all.
And screw psychology.
Thanks about the subjects, now what about the universities?
