Hello, me! lol
And the people who post answers in this section.
Also Calculus Teachers and Profs.
Engineers and Science Students will be required to take it.
Lawyers are recommended to take it (Math Logic Course)
And many many more...
Pre-calculus refers to concepts that need to be learned before, or as a prerequisite to studying calculus, so no. First one studies pre-calculus then elementary calculus.
algebra
Calculus is the branch of mathematics that studies continuously changing quantities. The calculus is characterized by the use of infinite processes, involving passage to a limit, that is, the notion of tending toward, or approaching, an ultimate value.
Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus
It is a tool for an engineer. I am a mechanical engineer, and you MUST know your calculus to be able to get through it, or through physics with calc. Good luck!
Geometry did not originate in India.

In short, no. Elementary calculus includes finding limits, basic differentiation and integration, dealing with sequences and series, and simple vector operations, among other concepts. Pre-calculus mostly focuses on the algebra necessary to perform those operations, with perhaps some introduction to limits or other simple ideas from elementary calculus.
The mathematical field known as calculus studies rates of change. Calculus is interesting because it brings together most of the mathematical concepts that you learn before taking calculus, such as algebra, trigonometry, and functions, and gives them very realistic applications. One of the most applicable and understandable rates of change for those who have not taken calculus is speed. Speed is the rate of change in position over time, and is studied in depth in every calculus class.
Calculus III generally entails vector calculus, divergence and curl, and continuing study of integrals and derivatives. What is mainly studies, however, is the calculus of multi-variable functions, such as f(x,y,z,w,b,a) rather than just f(x) (Typically, it would just be of two variables, but the idea holds).
Calculus is the fundamentals of analysis. Essentially, it is the study of behavior of functions, real valued and complex valued. Advanced studies also involves vector valued function, matrix functions. Though Calculus can be summarized as the study of behaviors of functions, it's detail is complex and non-trivial.
An algebraist is someone who studies algebra. Usually, "algebra" in this context means "abstract algebra." Thus an algebraist studies groups, rings, fields, etc. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_algebra A geometer studies geometry. A topologist studies topology. An analyst studies analysis (think calculus, but for mathematicians.)
