At Harvey Mudd College, all students take at least two semesters of mathematics, regardless of their major. These two semesters are known as the common core mathematics courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A year of calculus at the high-school level is an entrance requirement for HMC, so familiarity with limits, differentiation and integration is assumed in all mathematics courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Placing out of any math course requires a meeting with the department’s placement director or taking a suitable placement examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
