How familiar are you with algebra? The stronger you are with algebra, the easier you will find Calculus. You will also need a relatively strong understanding of trigonometry, but I've mostly been able to review the trig I need as it comes up. That being said, don't feel like you need to be an expert at all prior math before jumping into Calc. In fact, Calculus might be the class you finally grok algebra since you'll use it so much!

Here is a good review of the algebra you'll use in a Calc I course: http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Extras/AlgebraTrigReview/Alge...
