Your first math course at Hopkins

We hope these simple rules will help you decide which course to take. Good recommendations depend on lots of factors, and we recommend taking the Math Placement Exam for further information. If you feel you need more advice, please feel free to contact the Mathematics Department's advising coordinator (at the email address at the bottom of this page), talk to the Math DUS in 412 Krieger Hall, contact the Office of Academic Advising in Garland Hall, or get in touch with Engineering Academic Advising in 126 NEB.
