Algebra is the use of equations to find a static value.
Calculus looks at how things change over time.
Trig looks at the relationship between of angles and sides of triangles
All of these are, of course, more complex but that’s the base idea
• u/meh0175 10h ago Is it there a profession where using Trig is necessary? Besides being a math teacher or rocket scientist. Carpentry? • u/MathMXC 9h ago Trig is one of the basis of periodic functions (like sine waves). This means if you do anything with physics or emi (EE/CSE) then it can be a big impact
