Description

This is the first semester of the two-semester honors sequence Math 340-341 which gives a unified and enriched treatment of multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and ordinary differential equations, with supplementary material from differential geometry, Fourier series and calculus of variations.

Students completing Math 340-341 will have covered the material of Math 240, 241 and 246 and may not also receive credit for Math 240, 241 or 246. Students completing only Math 340 with a grade of C or better will satisfy the math degree requirement for Math 241 and may not also receive credit for Math 241. Math majors may not use 340-341 to satisfy any upper-division requirement.

The honors sequence MATH 340-341 was constructed for outstanding entering freshmen. The course is reserved for our most advanced and most motivated incoming students. Many have, for example, already studied some multivariable calculus in high school.

Prerequisites

Math 140, Math 141 and permission of the department. Incoming students can request permission to register for Math 340 by sending an e-mail to .

Topics

The topics listed for Math 240, 241 and 246 are covered in Math 340-341, in greater depth. In addition there is supplementary material from differential geometry, Fourier series and calculus of variations, which may vary somewhat depending on the instructor and class.
