Mathematics 1B (spring)

Integration, Series and Differential Equations (111010)

Charlotte Trainor

2026 Spring (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.
