Kemet-

The reason that they probably won’t accept your multivariable calculus credit is that after single variable calculus, math courses at the University of Chicago branch into two different directions.

On the one hand, you can continue taking “pure math” courses, in which case right after single variable calculus you take a course in mathematical analysis, and then a course in linear algebra, and then topic courses of your choice (if you’re a major, probably courses in topology and manifolds, though many, many more options are offered).

On the other hand, you can go with a more “practical math” approach (if you need it for your major). In this case, it’ll be a very rapid treatment (one or two quarters) of mulit-variable calculus, differential equations, and anything else you need for your major specific course. As you can see, either way, having a class that covers multi-variable calculus does not really equate to any courses offered here.

Like previous posters said, see the course catalogue.
