Linear Algebra comes up near constantly if you do 3d game programming, which I only do occasionally as a hobby. Vectors and Matrices and so forth. Also mathematical induction which can be useful, but no not weekly.

Discrete Math has a lot of regularly useful stuff like the pigeonhole principle, fundamental theorem of arithmetic, GCD/LCM, etc.etc.

Using it "weekly" is tricky, since as a programmer anything like that that I used I would just program so I never had to do it manually. Some of my programs that I use daily are basically linear equation solvers, which is linear algebra, for example.
