Mathematics.calculus: a method of calculation, esp. one of several highly systematic methods of treating problems by a special system of algebraic notations, as differential or integral calculus.
trigonometry:The branch of mathematics that deals with the relationships between the sides and the angles of triangles and the calculations based on them, particularly the trigonometric functions.

Don't let it scare you.
A triangle has three sides and three angles. Trigonometry tells you how to figure out all 6 pcs. of information when you only know a couple.
Calculus is only three ideas ... limits, derivitives and integrals.
Limits = Defines a function such as f(x) as x approaches some number but can NEVER REACH THAT NUMBER. Just remember y=f(x) so when you are thinking about limits, think about your graphing exercises in algerbra.
Derivitive is the rate of change = (i.e. Slope of a line, acceleration / deceleration etc.)
Intergrals define the area below a line or curve on a graph. This can tell you the area or volume of a complex shape.

Calculus covers differential and integral calculus. Differential calculus is the rate of change and can be useful to find things like maxima and minima or slopes. Integral calculus is used to find areas. This is handy when you have complex shapes.
Trigonometry deals with lengths and angles for 90 degree triangles.

To put it it succinctly, Calculus uses the idea of a limit (the value of a function as you get closer and closer to a number) to deal with rates of change (derivative) and calculate the area under a curve (integral). Trigonometry, on the other hand is the study of the relationships between the sides and angles of a triangle, using sin, cos, and tan

Gee, that would be a pretty long answer.
If I had to explain them both as simply as possible, though, I would say that trigonometry is the study of angles, while calculus is the study of rates of change.

Hi. Calculus describes small increments of motion, trig describes the relationship of any triangle's angles with its sides.
