I find it difficult to understand how someone could be proficient in high school algebra yet find "baby calculus" beyond their ability. I believe that beginning calculus requires the same kind of thinking as high school algebra. Topics like abstract algebra and point set topology are so different however that those fields do require learning a whole new way of thinking.
