I never really paid attention in school, but I'm going to college now and my chosen career requires me to be proficient in mathematics (calculus level). Starting from pre-algebra and working my way up to pre-calc, I'm planning on reviewing and learning pre-algebra, algebra I, II, II, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus. Am I learning them out of order? Is algebra II the same as trigonometry and algebra II the same as pre-calculus? I'm really clueless and rather humiliated at having to ask questions about topics I should have learned a decade ago.

Question

I never really paid attention in school, but I'm going to college now and my chosen career requires me to be proficient in mathematics (calculus level).  Starting from pre-algebra and working my way up to pre-calc, I'm planning on reviewing and learning pre-algebra, algebra I, II, II, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus.  Am I learning them out of order?  Is algebra II the same as trigonometry and algebra II the same as pre-calculus?
