Math 375
MATH 375 (Topics in Multi-Variable Calculus and Linear Algebra)
MATH 375 is an Accelerated Honors (!) course which features the role that linear algebra has in multivariable calculus. It also provides students with an introduction to proofs and proof-writing. In terms of subsequent coursework, MATH 375 generally fulfills any prerequisite that includes MATH 341.
It is assumed that students who complete this course will move on to complete the sequel course, MATH 376. (Students who complete MATH 375 and not MATH 376 are not considered to have completed the content of MATH 234! By enrolling in MATH 375 in the fall, students should be prepared to enroll in MATH 376 in the spring. Otherwise, they will need to enroll in MATH 234 in order to complete multivariate calculus.)
In summary, MATH 375:
- Is Honors-level;
- Enrollment is by permission only;
- Is accepted in both the major and certificate programs;
- Is not a course you can take if you have credit for one or more of MATH 234, 319, 320, 340, or 341;
- Is a good introduction to proofs and proof-writing;
- Covers material in MATH 320 and therefore credit for only one of MATH 320 or 375 can be applied to the math major or certificate;
- Covers material in MATH 340 and therefore credit for only one of MATH 340 or 375 can be applied to the math major or certificate;
- Covers material in MATH 341 and therefore credit for only one of MATH 341 or 375 can be applied to the math major or certificate;
- Covers material in MATH 345 and therefore credit for only one of MATH 345 or 375 can be applied to the math major or certificate;
- Will give students access to a number of advanced-level undergraduate math courses, although some may also require MATH 376.
