In college, we first studied algebra and at the same time trigonometry, and then the last is calculus. (higher maths doesn't stop in calculus):)
And as macy said, you really must be good in algebra, because its very useful, you can apply algebra in other higher mathematics.
God Bless.

For differential equations, make sure you have a good background in Trigonometry, Algebra, and Geometry.  Of course you will need Calculus to take derivatives and integrate and such, but a solid foundation in TAG line of thinking (see what I did there?  neat, huh?) is important for your success.  Good luck!
