<p>Hi! So I'm researching classes I want to take in the fall for freshman year; I'm thinking of majoring in computer science, which means I will have to take Math 21a and b at some point. </p>
<p>I want to take Math 21a freshman year fall, but I have only taken up to AP Calc AB in high school. I am thinking of self-studying Math 1b over the summer and reading up on Math 21a's material so I am ready. </p>
<p>What is covered in Math 1b? I tried looking online but none of the topics or assignments are listed. A list of the assignments and what chapters covered in which textbook would be REALLY helpful -- is there any way to get hold of that? </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Hi, I think that you’ll find this link useful:</p>
<p>[MATH</a> 1b, Fall 2012 § Mathematics 1b (Fall 2012-2013)](<a href=“http://isites.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k87804#]MATH”>http://isites.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k87804#)</p>
<p>Although this is from fall 2012, I can’t imagine much changing for fall 2013. The Math dept. seem to be pretty good at giving detailed course information for many of their courses. </p>
<p>I hope that this helps :)</p>
<p>Hi superstar. Thanks for your response – the website doesn’t give much detail, but it’s better than nothing 
</p>
<p>Also, does anyone know if math 1b covers polar coordinates?</p>
<p>Math 1b does not cover polar coordinates. They will also have several sessions of “Which math should I take?” during orientation week that could help you</p>
