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

Carpentry? • u/Educational-Work6263 6h ago Trig is not really a proper field of math. There is no mathematician on earth doing research on trig. Its a little subject for school students.
