This page is to help you choose which calculus sequence is best for you. You can also check UConn's calculus placement page for general guidelines. Be advised that sometimes your choice of major may directly or indirectly implie a certain calculus sequence, e.g. if you want to take a 200 level Math course at some point, you have to go through the Math 115Q / Math 116Q sequence or higher. If the class you need is full put your name on the Math Waiting List and we will try to get you into a class.
Pre-Calculus : Math 109Q
Math 109Q is
for students intending to take calculus but who find their
pre-calculus skills deficient. The course covers functions and their applications: polynomials, rational
functions, exponentials, logarithms and trigonometric functions.
Note: This course assumes a working knowledge of basic algebra;
Math 104Q is adequate preparation.
Warning: Math 107Q covers more or
less the same material, but is not designed to prepare students
for calculus and is not allowed as prerequisite for any of the following.
Calculus for Business and Economics : Math 106Q
Math 106Q is the business calculus course,
i.e. it is taken by most (but not all) business majors and economics majors. The syllabus is a somewhat
trimmed down version of the material in Math 112Q / Math 113Q.
Warning: Math 106Q does not give access to any of the other calculus courses on this page.
Calculus Sequence : Math 112Q / 113Q / 114Q
This sequence, consisting of
Math 112Q,
Math 113Q and
Math 114Q incorporates a review
of pre-calculus (mainly in Math 112Q) into the calculus sequence. Because of the extra time spent
and because of a slightly slower pace, this sequence takes three semesters rather than two.
Warning: This calculus sequence is not accepted as a prerequisite for Math 200 level courses.
Calculus Sequence : Math 115Q / 116Q
Math 115Q and
Math 116Q
is the typical calculus sequence for entering mathematics, science or engineering students, as well as others
needing calculus and having the appropriate pre-calculus background. There is also emphasis on mastering the
fundamental concepts of calculus, learning to work collaboratively and improving logical reasoning skills and
problem solving skills.
Honors Calculus : Math 135Q / 136Q
Math 135Q and
Math 136Q
is intended to provide intensive preparation for prospective mathematics, science and engineering majors.
It covers the subject matter of Math 115Q / Math 116Q in greater depth, with emphasis on the underlying
mathematical concepts. Students in the UConn Honors Program will receive honors credit for this course.
See also the Mathematics Honors Program.
Note: A semester of calculus in high school is recommended.
Multivariable Calculus : Math 210Q
Math 210Q
is the standard multivariable calculus course that follows Math 116. It covers Two- and three-dimensional
vector algebra, calculus of functions of several variables, vector differential calculus, line and surface
integrals.
Warning: The prerequisite is a passing grade in Math 116Q, but you should get at least a C- on Math 116Q,
and preferably better to be well prepared for multivariable calculus.
The same applies to Math 211Q.
Honors Multivariable Calculus : Math 230Q
As with Math 135 and 136, Math 230Q is intended
to provide intensive preparation for prospective mathematics, science and engineering majors. It covers the
subject matter of MATH 210 in greater depth, with emphasis on the underlying mathematical concepts.
For a few students with an aptitude for mathematics and advanced placement credit for both Math 115 and 116,
this is an excellent entering point into mathematics courses at UConn. Students in the UConn Honors Program
receive honors credit for this course.
See also the Mathematics Honors Program.
Accelerated Program in Mathematics
The mathematics department has developed a new core mathematics sequence. This four course sequence, Advanced Calculus, is designed to recognize the developments in the advanced math high school curricula or college calculus and, using that as a starting point, continue mathematical training in the spirit of higher level mathematics and theoretical science and engineering. Students are assumed to have learned most standard calculus computations in high school, Math 115-116 or Math 135-136; for that reason, students taking Math 243 retain their AP calculus and ECE calculus credit. For non-math majors, successful completion of the sequence will satisfy the requirements for a minor in mathematics
