Hint: If you really like math, and you want to take calculus, then take calculus. Don't let people discourage you, people will say a lot many things that it’s very hard and all. But if you have a command over algebra at foundation level then it would be a very exciting journey for you to solve Calculus.

Complete answer:
There are many ways you can learn calculus. There are many textbooks out there dedicated to calculus, such as Thomas' Calculus, Stewart Calculus, Spivak Calculus (more rigorous than the other two and is meant as an introduction to real analysis), high school calculus books, etc. There are many online resources also available for you, like you can enroll yourself into Vedantu learning app. Calculus is the branch of mathematics which is related to other fields of math.

• Arithmetic: Start with basic arithmetic, be a master of all the arithmetic operations.
• Algebra: Know basic algebra properties. Understand the basics of sets and groups. Learn about the word problems.
• Trigonometry: Understand the properties of triangles, circles, learn all the identities that are used in trigonometry. It will really help you to solve maximum problem in Calculus;
• Geometry: Study all about shapes and their properties.

Fundamental theorem teaches you that the integration and differentiation are inverse to each other.Calculus is a subject which you cannot understand without an instructor, so be attentive in the classroom.Always start with basics of derivatives.

Note: Practice is the key of success, practice all example problems and worksheet.Being determined to learn calculus is the key to 98 percent of your problems. Be dedicated to your goal. Sacrifice time to master it. At the end, free your mind and smile.
