When does applied math knowledge matter?

I have taken up to Calc II when I was in school, is this enough to be able to do know how to input certain levels of code once I learn them?
You need it only insofar as the problem you are trying to solve/program you are writing requires calculus to arrive at its output.

Depends on the "level of code" you're talking about. Programming doesn't have "levels" I like to think of it having branches rather than a linear ladder. Certain branches of programming will certainly require some theoretical stuff eg: stats programs and specific business models. I haven't had any need beyond trig and some linear algebra.
