    If you have not taken Trigonometry, then you will have trouble with Calculus.

    Trig is probably a prerequisite for Calculus.

    Most school advisors would suggest against jumping into calculus with only geometry and advanced algebra.

    Trig identities are a big part of Calculus.

    I would say architecture is a part of engineering which means that a good grasp on math is essential, pre-cal is is like algebra to the next level with the Pi chart and knowing about radians and angle measures (which seems important) but Calculus is the study of derivatives, (the slope of a line at a certain point) kind of pointless no matter what field of workd your going to, if you ask me.

    Calculus at high school level is easy. If you want to ever take Calculus take it in high school because in University it gets a lot tougher.

    Take Calculus...you have nothing to loose. Just study and you wont have too much troubles...now if you're a slacker then I suggest taking pre calculus instead...but either way good luck =)

    You will need to take Cal in college to pursue a degree in architecture. If that is what you want, you need to take both pre Cal and Cal in high school.

    fer sure. pre calc really isn't all that hard honestly. as long as you pay attention you'll be fine.

    you work A LOT with trig functions in pre calc and im sure your going to need that if you want to be an architect.

    like the profession choice by the way. good luck.
