What is the difference between Math 55a and Math 55b? I believe people always refer to Math 55 for the Math 55a without knowing that Math 55b also exists. Moreover, can students take Math 55a and Math 55b on the same year and or can people take them in different year?

Besides, is it possible for sophomore/junior/senior to take Math 55 courses if they wish to? Or, is it restricted to only freshman? I cant see on the Harvard’s page that it is ONLY FOR freshman though.

Other than that, is it possible for MIT student to take Harvard’s Math 55?

Lastly, how easy it is for Harvard students to take graduate-level math courses at Harvard and MIT (by x-registering)?

Thanks!
