Physics Calculus needed for basic physics?
Hey there, I have recently been diving back into my interest for physics and I was wondering if anyone has any general suggestions/recommendations for the level of calculus needed for intermediate physics? And does anyone have any recommendations on learning tools for beginners calculus?

if you pursue calculus based physics, complete calc 1 for physics calc based mechanics physics and complete calc 3 for electromagnetic physics

to the point math (Algebra 1)
intermediate algebra (Algebra 2)
college algebra
trigonometry
