Python, programming and math: I had calculus 2 about 4 years ago and my math is rusty. While i try to learn programming now, does it make sense to only learn the math as i go along or will i need to refresh the math before i start?

Most of the introductory courses in CS are self-contained. As long as you still have the mathematical intuition (or, if you prefer, a mathematical way of seeing things), you should have no problem at all. If you took Calc. 2 (and I suppose Calc.1 also) and did fine, I think you shouldn't have problems with the mathematical concepts in the course :-)

What bmp said.  Plus, you can always google any math concepts that you're rusty on when they come up.
