Ma 1 abc. Calculus of One and Several Variables and Linear Algebra.
9 units (4-0-5); first, second, third terms, 2025-26.
Prerequisites: high-school algebra, trigonometry, and calculus.
Special section of Ma 1 a, 12 units (5-0-7). Review of calculus. Complex numbers, Taylor polynomials, infinite series. Comprehensive presentation of linear algebra. Derivatives of vector functions, multiple integrals, line and path integrals, theorems of Green and Stokes. Ma 1 b, c is divided into two tracks: analytic and practical. Students will be given information helping them to choose a track at the end of the fall term. There will be a special section or sections of Ma 1 a for those students who, because of their background, require more calculus than is provided in the regular Ma 1 a sequence. These students will not learn series in Ma 1 a and will be required to take Ma 1 d.

6 units (3-0-3); 9 units (4-0-5); 3 units (2-0-1); first, second, and third terms, 2025-26.
Prerequisites: concurrent enrollment in other integrated core classes and instructor permission.
Linear algebra and multivariable calculus, including derivatives of vector functions, multiple integrals, line and surface integrals, theorems of Green and Stokes. Sequence of topics will be aligned with the applications of mathematics as they arise in the Integrated Core.
