Most students will begin their study of mathematics with one of the three calculus sequences:

(i) Calculus 161, 162, 163, the traditional sequence.

(ii) Analysis 165, 166, a calculus sequence which uses a more sophisticated and rigorous approach and integrates multivariate calculus with single variable calculus.

(iii) Calculus/Mathematica 155, 156, 157, calculus taught using Mathematica in one of the department's computer labs.

Individuals who do not start their college mathematics with one of the above calculus sequences should take Math 105 or 110, depending on their major interests. Careful attention should be given to the proper placement in the calculus sequence. Students having a high school calculus background should consider taking the Analysis sequence, Math 165, 166 or the Calculus/Mathematica sequence, Math 155, 156, 157. Both sequences cover approximately the same material as that contained in the standard Calculus sequence, Math 161, 162, 163. The Analysis sequence builds on one year of successful high school calculus and presents the material with a more rigorous conceptual approach and a significantly different order of presentation. The Calculus/Mathematica sequence, which does not require any high school calculus, emphasizes a conceptual approach and allows more student exploration through the use of Mathematica, a powerful piece of mathematical software. Students who have scored a 4 or 5 on the AP exam are strongly encouraged to take Analysis I and II. Placement into Calculus II and III via AP credit is not allowed.
