Look I don't disagree that math is an invaluable skill. I really want to get into math at some point, because it didn't sink in while I was still in highschool. The point I am trying to get across here is that at an undergrad level, Philosophy and other arts degrees, aside from a few particular undergrad degrees, are largely the same, and should be considered as such.
Dennis, you caught me. Typing to fast and getting a little excited. I think its the playoff hockey...

Why would you wait until freshman math to start taking calculus? That will cost thousands for that one course and you'll be in an auditorium with 400 others and a few TAs who barely speak English. If you just want to learn calculus, you can do some cheap adult ed course at your local high school at night and probably for $200 or less. You might have 10 people in the class and so the teacher can really give you some personal attention. I was certain I did not want to end up in a freshman math class in college, so I did whatever it took to place out before I started and the AP credit I got for doing it in high school sufficed.
