<p>Math 55 is famous around the country and oh, what I'd do for just a day in there. Would I survive? Maybe. The odds are against me, like to all, but regardless of that, just reading the notes and then looking at the sample midterms I get extremely excited thinking about all of it. Anyone else get similar euphoria, or am I the only one with this crazy masochistic relationship to Mathematics? :p</p>
<p>Nope. a number of students come to Harvard each year specifically to take 55. The members of the course call themselves “mathocists” 
It is either the love of your freshman year or you quit. There is no middle ground.</p>
<p>i hope you have the chance to try it for yourself!</p>
<p>Do you, personally, think it would be wise to make a reference to that class in my application?</p>
<p>Probably not wise. If you are well qualified your qualifications probably speak better than your interest, and if not, you’d just seem naive. My $0.02.</p>
<p>^agree. 10 characters</p>
<p>I think you could bring it up in an interview. It’s a great specific </p>

<p>Math 55 is a freshman class ; I don’t think you could take it as a transfer student. I could be wrong, though.</p>
<p>I know I wouldn’t be able to take it. Reference isn’t to taking it. Reference is to looking at notes from classes like that and getting excited, etc. for what all the other classes could bring too.</p>
