What math background do I need for calculus and differential equations?

Hello.
I'm a student of the 10th grade. What mathematical background do I need for taking a plunge into Calculus and Differential equations? I know this is far-fetched, but I'd be glad if someone would help.

A solid background in trigonometry and algebra should be sufficient.

Can you suggest me a few books to start off with?

Take a look at Paul's online math notes under the "Class Notes" heading.
