If you go into a technical field, you can never have too much math. That is, until you decide you've had enough. My CS program made us take enough math that we were only one course away from a math minor, so many of us elected to take an extra course and make it official.

As for physics, I just liked it. I don't think it has ever directly helped my CS studies, but it has enriched my life.
