Ok fellow /sci/entists.

I just finished my Algebra books (Even though I still suck at algebra)
and I was wondering which field to study next.

Triganometry or Calculus.

learn the basics first. Trig comes up a lot in intro calc, esp with transforming integrals

At least learn your trig identities and build up on your algebra by learning how to do basic operations on matrices, complex numbers, partial fractions, etc.,

>>8002591
Yeah, I agree. Understand all the trig identities, especially ones that involve squares.

You have to learn Trig first or you'll just find yourself getting stuck all the time in Calc. That means identities, additive properties, Pythagorean identities etc. You need a nice base in limits as well before you can really start doing differentiation.
