Courses: Prerequisites for Undergraduate Math Courses
Only immediate prerequisites are given here; be sure to check whether the prerequisites for a given course have their own prerequisites.
The earlier quarters of a multiquarter course (xxx-1,2 or xxx-1,2,3) are prerequisites for the later quarters.
The numbers in this chart are the new math course
numbers, effective Fall 2005/6.
Here's a chart giving the equivalent old
