There was a time when both ‘College Algebra’ and Analytical Geometry (trig with vectors in 3-space) were precursors to Calculus I (Differential) and Calculus II (Integral).
Some kids with good High School math preparation could proficiency out of College Algebra, but in the 50’s and 60’s most would have to take Analyt Geom before Calc I.
Nowadays, I understand, they have realigned the curriculum to integrate Analyt Geom with Calc.
I was in high school in the late 70’s, when basic geometry and algebra 1 and 2 were commonly followed by pre-calculus and then, if you were in an upper-middle-class school with AP-type courses, calculus. Thus, if you were even on a regular college-prep course in an average high school you should have been ready for calculus 1 to start your freshman year of college. No math or science major credit would be awarded for anything less than that.
Since then AP has become much more common, but on the lower end, endless terms of “college algebra” (which are no such thing and should make one think of linear algebra) seem to have become the norm.
