Calculus at Binghamton
Overview
The Mathematics Department at Binghamton offers a three semester sequence in
Calculus (Math 221,222,323), as well as a course in Calculus designed for
business majors (Math 220). Students who want to take Math 221 or Math 220 must
pass the Calculus Placement Test, which covers basic precalculus
mathematics. Those students who require more background before taking Math
221 or Math 220 can take our Precalculus course, Math 108.
Here are some more details, and links for further information:
- Calculus I (Math 221)
