The Mathematics Department would like to welcome students into that course for which they are best qualified. Incoming students should take advantage of Harvard’s Mathematics Placement Test and of the science advising available in the Science Center the week before classes begin. Members of the Mathematics Department will be available during this period to consult with students. Generally, students with a strong precalculus background and some calculus experience will begin their mathematics education here with a deeper study of calculus and related topics in courses such as Mathematics 1a, 1b, 19, 20, and 21a, b. The Harvard Mathematics Placement Test results recommend the appropriate starting level course, either Mathematics Xa, 1a, 1b, or 21. Recommendation for Mathematics 21 is sufficient qualification for Mathematics 19, 20, 21a, 23a, and 25a.

In any event, what follows briefly describes these courses: Mathematics 1a introduces the basic ideas and techniques of calculus while Mathematics 1b covers integration techniques, differential equations, sequences and series. Mathematics 21a covers multi-variable calculus while Mathematics 21b covers basic linear algebra with applications to differential equations. Students who do not place into (or beyond) Mathematics 1a can take Mathematics Xa, Xb, a two-term sequence which integrates calculus and precalculus material and prepares students to enter Mathematics 1b.

There are a number of options available for students whose placement is to Mathematics 21. For example, Mathematics 19 can be taken either before or after Mathematics 21 (or Mathematics 20). Mathematics 19 covers modeling and differential equation topics for students interested in biological and other life science applications. Mathematics 20 covers selected topics from Mathematics 21a and 21b for students particularly interested in economic and social science applications.

Mathematics 23 is a theoretical version of Mathematics 21 which treats multivariable calculus and linear algebra in a rigorous, proof oriented way. Mathematics 25 and 55 are theory courses that should be elected only by those students who have a particular interest in, and commitment to, mathematics. They assume a solid understanding of one-variable calculus and a willingness to think rigorously and abstractly about mathematics, and to work extremely hard. Both courses study multivariable calculus and linear algebra plus many very deep related topics. Mathematics 25 differs from Mathematics 23 in that the work load in Mathematics 25 is significantly more than in Mathematics 23, but then Mathematics 25 covers more material. Mathematics 55 differs from Mathematics 25 in that the former assumes a very strong proof oriented mathematics background.

The suitability of Mathematics 55 and higher numbered courses is not addressed by the placement examinations. Students who have had substantial preparation beyond the level of the Advanced Placement Examinations are urged to consult the Department Head Tutor in Mathematics concerning their initial Harvard mathematics courses. Students should take this matter very seriously. The Mathematics Department has also prepared a pamphlet with a detailed description of all its 100-level courses and their relationship to each other. This pamphlet gives sample lists of courses suitable for students with various interests. It is available at the Mathematics Department Office. Many 100-level courses assume some familiarity with proofs. Courses that fulfill this prerequisite include Mathematics 23, 25, 55, 101, 112, 121, and 141. Of these, note that Mathematics 101 may be taken concurrently with Mathematics 1, 19, 20, or 21.

The Mathematics Department does not grant formal degree credit without prior approval for taking a course that is listed as a prerequisite of one you have already taken. Our policy is that a student who takes and passes any calculus course is not normally permitted to then take a more elementary course for credit. A student who has passed Mathematics 21a, for example, will normally not be allowed to take Mathematics 1a, or 1b for credit. The Mathematics Department is prepared to make exceptions for sufficient academic reasons; in each case, however, a student must obtain written permission from the Mathematics Head Tutor in advance.

In the case of students accepting admission as sophomores, this policy is administered as follows: students counting one half course of advanced standing credit in mathematics are deemed to have passed Mathematics 1a, and students counting a full course of advanced standing credit in mathematics are deemed to have passed Mathematics 1a and 1b.
