Mathematics 22A

Vector Calculus and Linear Algebra I (207485)

Philip Wood

2026 Fall (4 Credits)

Schedule: MWF 1200 PM - 0115 PM

Instructor Permissions: None

Enrollment Cap: n/a

Mathematics 22 covers multivariable calculus and linear algebra for students interested in mathematical sciences. It covers the same topics as Mathematics 21, but does so with more rigor. Students are taught techniques of proof and mathematical reasoning. The workload and content is comparable with the Mathematics 21 sequence. But unlike the latter, the linear algebra and calculus are more interlinked. The content of Math 22a is mostly aligned with Math 21b (linear algebra), and the content of Math 22b is mostly aligned with Math 21a (multivariable calculus).

Course Requirements:

Anti-requisite: Cannot be taken for credit if you have passed Math 21B, Math 25A, Math 121, or AM 22A

Course Notes:

The first time you enroll in any introductory math course (Math Ma through Math 22a), you are required to take a Math Verification Exam. Your results may determine which introductory course(s) you are eligible to take. For more information please go to this website: https://canvas.harvard.edu/courses/168499.
