General Information
Prerequisites: CALC III -- third-semester, multiple-variable calculus, which is Math 251 at Rutgers-NB -- is an unwaivable prerequisite. A working knowledge of multiple integrals and partial derivatives is essential for the course.
Restrictions on Credit: A student can receive credit for at most one of the courses
(despite the fact that Math 477 covers considerably more material than Comp Sci 206).
