Honors Calculus and Linear Algebra I, II, III: Math 134, 135, 136
Advanced Mathematics (Honors) I, II, III: Math 334, 335, 336
Honors Calculus and Linear Algebra: Math 134, 135, 136
Prerequisites
College credit for Math 124 and Math 125 or higher and permission. If you do not meet the prerequisite requirement, you can still submit the registration form but should explain your mathematical background.
Course Information
Math 134 is part of an intensive honors sequence of calculus that is less computational than our regular calculus series, and instead is focused on the concepts and using proofs to solve problems. Students wanting to enroll in Math 134 should have a strong enthusiasm and aptitude for mathematics. The course covers the subject matter of Math 124 and Math 125 (single-variable calculus), but with a strong theoretical approach. Students should be comfortable with integrals and derivatives. In this course, students will learn the fundamental axioms for the real numbers that underlie all the results of calculus.
Math 134 meets Monday - Friday with the expectation of 3-4 hours of work every day and it is not recommended for students taking other intensive coursework. You can learn more about the course here: https://sites.
Students should plan to take the entire honors sequence. Honors equivalencies for standard courses are as follows:
Effective 2026-2027
Math 134 = Math 124
Math 135 = Math 125, Math 207
Math 136 = Math 126, Math 208, Math 300
Prior to 2026-2027
Math 134 = Math 124
Math 135 = Math 125, Math 207
Math 136 = Math 126, Math 208
Registration
Students interested in enrolling in honors calculus should first solve these problems. Complete these problems in a quiz-like setting; do not use books or calculators. The answers can be found here. If you are unable to solve these problems on your own, Math 134 is not an appropriate course for you.
The emphasis of Math 134 is on the theory of single variable calculus and on more advanced problems and applications. It is therefore essential that the student has mastered the basics of differentiation, integration and their applications to be able to keep up with the rigor and pace of Math 134. This means that students interested in Math 134 must have some equivalent credit to Math 124 and Math 125 (either through AP Calc BC or transfer coursework). If you do not meet the prerequisite requirement, you can still submit the registration form but should explain your mathematical background.
If after you have completed the problem set and you are excited about exploring calculus from a proof-based perspective, please complete the registration request form.
Honors Analysis, Discrete Math and Linear Algebra I, II, III - Math 334, 335, 336
Prerequisites
- 2.0 in Math 136 OR
- 3.0 in Math 126, 3.0 in Math 207, and 3.0 in Math 208
Math 334, 335 and 336 is intended for students in their second or third year at UW. While many students completed the first-year honors sequence, all students are welcome to join. Like our first-year honors sequence, students should expect a heavy workload associated with the course.
Students should plan to take the entire honors sequence. Honors equivalencies for standard courses are as follows:
Autumn 2025 - Spring 2027
Math 334 = Math 300, Math 224
Math 335* = Math 209, 327, Math 424
Math 336 = Math 480
Effective 2027-2028
Math 334 = Math 300, Math 327
Math 335* = Math 224, Math 424
Math 336 = Math 200, Math 318, Math 340
*Math 335 can be considered a prerequisite for Math 426, but does not cover enough content to earn equivalent Math 425 credit. Students in the Math BS who take Math 335 and only Math 426 would only be considered to have fulfilled one of their two-quarter sequences. Students wanting to fulfill a three-quarter sequence would need to take Math 335/425/426.
