First, you need to learn how to do calculus. This can be accomplished through either taking a calculus class or figuring it out on your own. Next, you apply what you have learned to the problem, eventually arriving at the answer.
Simple answer: Calculus involves derivation and integration, precal doesn't. Pre calculus gives you some of the algebraic, geometric and trigonometric understanding that is required to comprehend the concepts in calculus. Without the knowledge from precal, calculus would not be easily understood, as it is taught in schools today.
Calculus Solved is software that is useful for learning calculus. It allows you to enter in problems and will walk you through how to solve each one. It also includes tests so you can track your progress.
Trigonometry isn't required to learn calculus, but it does help you to understand some of the concepts. Geometry, however, is usually required before taking a course in trigonometry.
That is not an easy question to answer. Many people find math hard in general and certainly some people find calculus hard to understand.Multivariable calculus is not really harder than single variable calculus. It is lots of fun since you learn about double and triple integrals, partial derivatives and lots more.I strongly suggest it for anyone who is thinking about taking it.
