This sounds like what would be covered in Applied Mathematics.
2D and 3D mathematics are in this.  As well as behaviour of physical
systems and objects in a subject such as Mechanics that is in Applied
Mathematics.  My graphics programming lecturer recommended doing
Applied Mathematics, especially including matrices, you notice those
a lot in graphics algorithms.
Anyway, as a programmer, mathematics is more useful thanstudy
of theories of physical behaviour that might be in a Physics subject.
You need mathematics you can directly use.
