Mathematics 1A (fall)
Introduction to Calculus (123680)
Hannah Constantin2025 Fall (4 Credits)
Schedule: TBD
Instructor Permissions: None
Enrollment Cap: n/a
The development of calculus by Newton and Leibniz ranks among the greatest achievements of the past millennium. This course will help you see why by introducing: how differential calculus treats rates of change; how integral calculus treats accumulation; and how the fundamental theorem of calculus links the two. These ideas will be applied to problems from many other disciplines.
- Course Notes:
- Math 1A is taught in small sections throughout the day (9:00-10:15 am, 10:30-11:45 am, 12-1:15 pm, 1:30-2:45 pm, and 3:00-4:15 pm with sufficient enrollment). Registering for Math 1A is a two-step process. Once enrolled, you must submit your time preferences before 5 pm on September 2 by filling out the Math Sectioning form in your To-Do list on my.harvard (this may take up to 15 minutes to appear after you enroll). If your time preferences change, you may submit the form again; only your latest submission will be used. In order to receive your section assignment, you are required to take the Math 1A skills check in-person on September 2. Please see the course's Canvas site for more information.

- The QUIZ component of this course represents the designated time slot for your mid-term exams. While these exams do not occur weekly, it's important that this period remains on your schedule.
