Should I take Precalc before taking Calc I?

Pre-calc at my high school included trig and some miscellaneous math topics, like matrix multiplication, hyperbolic functions, conic sections, equations of circles and ellipses, parametric equations, and combinatorics. Nothing we learned in it other than trig (including identities) and a bit of hyperbolic functions ever showed up in BC Calc.
