Mathematics 1B (fall)

Integration, Series and Differential Equations (111010)

Erica Dinkins

2025 Fall (4 Credits)

Schedule: TBD

Instructor Permissions: None

Enrollment Cap: n/a

Speaking the language of modern mathematics requires fluency with the topics of this course: infinite series, integration, and differential equations. Model practical situations using integrals and differential equations. Learn how to represent interesting functions using series and find qualitative, numerical, and analytic ways of studying differential equations. Develop both conceptual understanding and the ability to apply it.

Course Notes:
Math 1B 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 1B 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 1B skills check in-person on September 2. Please see the course's Canvas site for more information.
Recommended Prep:
Mathematics 1a or Ma and Mb; or 5 on the AB advanced placement test; or an equivalent background in mathematics.
Requirements:
Anti-requisite: cannot be taken for credit if MATH S-1AB already complete
Course notes:
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. If you encounter an academic conflict, you have the option to enroll in the TBA section. Students enrolled in the TBA section will be required to take all exams out of sequence.
