MATH 340 (Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra &
Differential Equations I)
| DESCRIPTION |
This is the first semester of the two-semester honors
sequence Math 340-341
which gives a unified and enriched treatment of multivariable calculus,
linear algebra, and ordinary differential equations, with supplementary
material from differential geometry, Fourier series and calculus of
variations.
Students completing Math 340-341 will have covered the material of Math
240, 241 and 246 and may not also receive credit for Math 240, 241 or
246.
Students completing only Math 340 with a grade of C or better will
satisfy
the math degree requirement for Math 241 and may not also receive
credit
for Math 241. Math majors may not use 340-341 to satisfy any
upper-division
requirement.
The honors sequence MATH 340-341 was constructed for outstanding
entering freshmen. The course is reserved for our most
advanced and most motivated incoming students. Many have, for
example, already studied some multivariable calculus in high
school.

| PREREQUISITES |
Math 140, 141 and permission of the department.
The prerequisite of Math 140,141 can be satisfied with a score of 4 or
5 on the BC Calculus AP exam. Incoming students can request
permission to register for Math 340 by sending an e-mail to
ugadvisor@math.umd.edu. Give a brief summary of your
mathematics background and reasons why you think the Math 340-341 is
appropriate for you.

| TOPICS |
The topics listed for Math 240, 241 and 246 are covered in
Math 340-341,
in greater depth. In addition there is supplementary material from
differential
geometry, Fourier series and calculus of variations, which may vary
somewhat
depending on the instructor and class.
