Courses: Prerequisites for Undergraduate Math Courses
Only immediate prerequisites are given here; be sure to check whether the prerequisites for a given course have their own prerequisites.
The earlier quarters of a multiquarter course (xxx-1,2 or xxx-1,2,3) are prerequisites for the later quarters.
Courses equivalent to each course in our equivalents list serve as prerequisites for the same courses, whether all are listed below or not.
The list below has been revised to reflect changes in course numberings for 2009-10.
The numbers in this chart are the new math course
numbers, effective Fall 2005/6.
Here's a chart giving the equivalent old
numbers.
