I'm taking calculus next semester, and I am nervous because calculus has a reputation of being one of the most difficult courses (maybe after physics).
So what is calculus. How difficult is it? What math should I be good at? I am good at algebra, trigonometry, geometry, and stuff.
I googled it but there isn't much useful information...

Hmm you should be good, man. Especially if you're good with your trig and algebra. Calculus itself is very simple in my opinion; same concepts, same everything. The parts I personally mess up in, in calculus, are the algebra parts; simplifying equations and whatnot. But basically here's a rundown of my math classes so far. I basically got all A's in every math class and a "C" in pre-calculus (couldn't take calc cause it wasn't offered to Sophomores). I got a LOW C in pre-calc but I took AP calculus the next year, (right now actually), it was too much for me, still had a C, so I dropped into normal Calculus and I have a 98%.
It's so easy in my opinion. As long as you pay attention to details with your algebra and all, then you should be fine. Good luck!! ALSO there are lots of sources online for help, like online youtube lessons. Look into it!

It is something different.
You will come to know about differentiation and integration(reverse of differentiation) where the former is to divide an equation into small parts and latter is to integrate a given equation. So you can think of destroying a jigsaw puzzle as differentiation and joining the pieces as integration. You don't have to worry, you need to remember some formulae and use other techniques as you might have done in the past. You will also come to learn how we get the perimeter and area of circle as 2*pi*r and pi*r*r. All the best nothing is too hard or too easy.
