Certain Mathematics courses are designated as honors courses. In addition, for some standard courses there are special honors sections. Honors courses and sections are intended for students who have sufficient preparation and interest to go beyond the normal curriculum. Some of these courses fulfill requirements for various honors programs.
Honors seminars are described on a separate page.
- Honors courses and sections in CALC1-CALC4
The standard calculus sequence for students interested in mathematics, science, or engineering consists of the four courses 151, 152, 251, and 252 or 244. During most semesters, there are one or more honors (H) sections of some of these courses. In addition, the sequence 291-292 is an alternative honors sequence to 251 followed by either 244 or 252, that are aimed at a somewhat higher level than the H sequence. See the course page for Math 291 for more details.
Admission to H sections of 151,152,251,252 and 244, and to 291 and 292 is normally done by invitation. Invitations are made to those students whose academic performance in mathematics indicates that they are prepared for an honors section. In unusual cases, a student who did not get an invitation may be admitted to honors calculus. Students who wish to be considered for admission should apply for special permission through the honors special permission system.
Honors courses and sections at the 300 and 400 levels:
- Math 300 H Introduction to Mathematical
- Math 311 H Advanced Calculus -- Honors Section
- Math 350 H Linear Algebra -- Honors Section
- Mathematical Analysis 411-412
- Abstract Algebra 451-452
Students can apply to take these courses through the honors special permission system.
