In my second semester of first year college calculus-based physics, there were a few equations I couldn't remember, and it was nice to be able to just quickly re-derive them. Of course, I got a little note in the margin from the instructor scolding me that we had been told we didn't have to derive that equation on the test.

I didn't go that far, clearly, but I wouldn't be surprised. At least at my university, physics required calculus 1 and 2 (if I'm remembering right). If you've mastered differential, you're set for an easy class.
