<p>Note that you can take Math 53 and 54 in either order (or concurrently), if you have the prerequisites (Math 1B or a 5 on AP Calculus BC – but the Math department suggests self-studying some introductory differential equations material before Math 54 if your AP Calculus BC course did not include it).</p>
<p>If you plan to take such courses as Physics 7B or Economics 101A, you will need Math 53.</p>
