MATH 350/351 (Honors Analysis I and II)


DESCRIPTION MATH 350-351 is a year long course giving a rigorous treatment of calculus in one and several variables. THIS COURSE IS NO LONGER OFFERED: it has been replaced by the less advanced sequence MATH 340/341. Very advanced entering students who have finished the content of MATH 340/341 should discuss appropriate coursework with a math department advisor or faculty member.
