Yes; in a larger view of calculus (small stones used for counting) it deals with the abstract aspects of various mathematics, usually functions and limits, Calculus is the study of change.

you don't go from algebra to calculus and linear algebra. you go from algebra to geometry to advanced algebra with trig to pre calculus to calculus 1 to calculus 2 to calculus 3 to linear algebra. so since you got an A+ in algebra, I think you are good.
Pre-algebra. Afterwards, it can be, in any order, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-calculus, and Calculus.
Math is taught like this: Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Trigonometry. Algebra I is similar to Algebra 2, but Algebra 2 has more difficult concepts, such as imaginary numbers. Added: I would have put statistics and trig in between Algebra 2 and Pre-calculus. You review trig in precalculus and statistics is the first transferable math course in college.
College Algebra prepares you for calculus. A course requirement depending on your major.
Algebra must be learned before calculus. Concepts that are learned in algebra are used in calculus, to the extent that a student cannot succeed in calculus unless he knows algebra so well that he does it without thinking.Algebra is the study of constants and variables; that is, it is the study of numbers without knowing specifically what those numbers are.Calculus is the study of rates of change, and is done almost entirely abstractly (without using specific numbers), so it cannot be done without the use of constants and variables (algebra).
