What is after trigonometry?
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.
Should you take trigonometry before 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.
What does calculus involve?
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.
When do you take calculus?
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.
Are calculus 1 and calculus 2 hard if you are good at and love algebra?
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
