At my US school around the year 2000, precalc was one option for seniors, which primarily focused on limits and derivatives. The more advanced pace AP calc course also went into integrals. Beyond that I don't really recall, but by that point you also had gone through courses focusing on basic geometry, basic algebra (using variables, factoring), and a course dedicated to trigonometry (mostly memorizing the rules around figuring out angles).
There were some other courses that had math involvement, but were more business oriented (finance / accounting type stuff) and I don't recall if they counted towards core math credit requirements.
