Lower division undergraduate mathematics

Lower division undergraduate mathematics includes courses that are considered general requirements or non-major specific courses. They are taken by students who do not intend to major in mathematics, although there may be a slightly different version of the course tailored at mathematics majors.

Subject	Brief description	Benefits	Learning recommendations
single-variable calculus	Limits, differentiation, integration, sequences and series (including Taylor series and power series), some ordinary differential equations. College calculus is more focused on proofs and concepts than high school calculus (such as AP Calculus).	single-variable calculus learning benefits	single-variable calculus learning recommendations
