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. This is in contrast with upper division undergraduate mathematics, typically taken by and targeted 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 |
| multivariable calculus | Functions of multiple variables, partial derivatives, iterated integration, parametric and polar coordinates, and other topics. | multivariable calculus learning benefits | multivariable calculus learning recommendations |
| linear algebra | linear algebra learning benefits | linear algebra learning recommendations | |
| ordinary differential equations | -- | -- |
