So, you're saying calculus and trig just tell you how to apply what you already know?

It's a fuzzy line to be sure, but basically, pure math consists of things, like proofs, which have absolutely no relation to reality. Was it Hardy who said that the less math has to do with reality the more beautiful it becomes? Applied maths are basically things, like calculus, that you can use in word problems.
