In Precalculus one learns about trigonometry and it explains concepts which are introductions to calculus. Calculus uses the concepts/ syllabi taught in precalculus to develop formulas for processes for finding things like derivatives. Precalculus is also called preparation for calculus.
Finite math focuses on discrete mathematics topics such as logic, probability, and matrices, while precalculus covers more advanced algebra and trigonometry concepts needed for calculus.

Kuta Software Precalculus is an educational tool designed to help students understand and practice various precalculus concepts, including functions, trigonometry, and limits. It offers a wide range of customizable worksheets and problems that educators can use to reinforce learning. The software is user-friendly, allowing teachers to generate assignments tailored to their curriculum, and provides instant feedback for students. Overall, it's a valuable resource for both teaching and learning precalculus.
Trigonometry focuses specifically on the study of triangles, and concepts that are closely related to properties of triangles. Pre-Calculus is generally a preperation for the concepts of Calculus, and often reviews or builds upon concepts learned in previous forms of mathematics, which may include information learned from Trigonometry.
Trigonometry isn't required to learn calculus, but it does help you to understand some of the concepts. Geometry, however, is usually required before taking a course in trigonometry.
Improves your command of technical topics and concepts
Math is taught like this: Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Trigonometry. Algebra I is similar to Algebra 2, but Algebra 2 has more difficult concepts, such as imaginary numbers. Added: I would have put statistics and trig in between Algebra 2 and Pre-calculus. You review trig in precalculus and statistics is the first transferable math course in college.
Technically, no. However, there a great number of things that would be impossible without at least a basic grasp of trigonometry, and even more that are only possible with an understanding of increasingly advanced concepts.
