Lessons I Wish I Had Learned Before Teaching Differential Equations (1997) [pdf]
Please teach calculus before teaching trigonometry. There's no prerequisite to learn trig first, and forcing people to learn trig-calc excites many mathophiles but is a major turn off to other students. Calculus can be taught using just basic algebra, and most students will benefit from already understanding calculus, when they are learning trigonometry.
