Mathematics Course Sequence: The Highest Class You Can Score Into Is Math 61

The document outlines a mathematics course sequence at a community college, starting from basic arithmetic courses through calculus and beyond. It shows the prerequisite courses required to advance to higher level mathematics. The lowest level courses cover arithmetic, pre-algebra, and elementary algebra topics that are not transferable. Higher courses like college algebra, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus I-III, differential equations, and linear algebra are transferable to four-year universities. The sequence demonstrates the progression of mathematical concepts and prerequisites needed to study calculus and more advanced mathematics.
