About Bachelor of Mathematics

Math Course Placement and Sequencing for All Homewood Students

There are three different versions of single variable calculus offered by the Mathematics Department, including 2 versions of semester courses in Calculus I and II, roughly equivalent to Calculus AB and BC in the College Board's Advanced Placement (AP) system, and a single semester honors version encompassing both Calculus I and II. Students should select their first course in mathematics at JHU based on their intended areas of study, prior experience and training in mathematics, and the results of an advisory Placement Exam offered to incoming freshmen. Students intending to major in mathematics, the natural sciences, or engineering, or who are interested in studying mathematics beyond a year of single variable calculus are strongly encouraged to begin with the AS.110.108 Calculus I (Physical Sciences & Engineering) - AS.110.109 Calculus II (For Physical Sciences and Engineering) sequence or AS.110.113 Honors Single Variable Calculus. Students majoring in other subjects, or who do not intend to continue taking mathematics courses beyond a year of calculus, may wish to take the sequence AS.110.106 Calculus I (Biology and Social Sciences) - AS.110.107 Calculus II (For Biological and Social Science). This latter sequence relates the methods of calculus to the biological and social sciences. A one-semester pre-calculus course (AS.110.105 Precalculus) is a pre-calculus course offered for students who would benefit from additional preparation in the basic tools (algebra, trigonometry and the properties of functions) used in calculus.

Entering students may receive course credit for Calculus I or Calculus I and II on the basis of the performance level on either the (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) exams. All students, regardless of completion of advanced placement exams previously, must take a departmental placement exam to determine their appropriate first course in mathematics. Additional placement information can be found here.

After completing a full year of calculus, the courses AS.110.201 Linear Algebra, AS.110.202 Calculus III, or AS.110.302 Differential Equations and Applications may be taken in any order. The department offers honors courses of the former 2; AS.110.212 Honors Linear Algebra and AS.110.211 Honors Multivariable Calculus.

Undergraduate Learning Goals

At the time of graduation, math majors should:

Have a good working knowledge of the language of mathematics as embodied in the basic constructs of mathematics in the fundamental areas of algebra, analysis, and geometry
Be able to analyze the logical structure of a scientific or mathematical problem and to develop a meaningful approach to a solution
Be able to read, understand, and construct a well-formed proof
Develop the mathematical maturity and skills necessary to extend their knowledge through self-study and independent research
Be able to apply mathematical methods to solve research problems arising outside of mathematics
Be able to formulate precise mathematical statements and questions
Be able to effectively and successfully communicate mathematics in both oral and written form to a broad mathematical and lay audience.
