Generally pre-calculus is taken after trigonometry, unless the trigonometry course was supplemented by a pre-calculus course, in which case the next course would be calculus.
Why? These are two topics within Mathematics. They are not isolated, mutually-insular academic disciplines. Having said that, basic Trigonometry is simpler than Calculus, which requires the deeper grounding in algebra and the graphs of algebraic functions based on x^n where the index n is at least 2 (quadratic and higher-order equations) . At a more advanced level, all three topics merge when you apply calculus to trigonometrical functions.Many times, calculus classes will expect some basic knowledge of trigonometry. While it may not be too hard to learn in the class, you may feel better prepared if you have taken trigonometry or a pre-calculus class.
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 is commonly taken as a first year course in college, but can be taken as an advanced course late in high school through programs like AP Calculus.
It wasn't for me but I was a good math student in high school and had taken Algebra I and II, Plane Geometry and Solid Geometry as well as Trigonometry (a year of Solid and a year of Trig) as a Senior. I still do Algebra problems for fun like people do crossword puzzles and I am in healthcare administration

They can be taken at the same time.
It is usually the third class in the calculus series ,so it is often taken in the second or third semester.
pre-calculus(Pre-calculusgenerallyincludes some trigonometry in it as well. Pre-calculus is in most cases a better lead-in class to collage, in which Calculus I would be taken. This may be different for some collage paths though. Talk with your school oradviserorcounselorto be sure.)
All areas. Algebra is used in every math I've taken. Iv'e taken algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus 1, calculus 2, caluculus 3, and differential equations.
there is an introat the end of grade ten but there is a real unit in grade eleven trigonometry is usaully taken during geometry and parts of pre/calculus. Its about 10th and/or 11th grade!

You take algebra, and trigonometry, and calculus, and then differential equations, and then you just do it. Until you've taken those classes, no explanation I could give would do you much good; after you've taken them, you won't need it.
