About <CALCULUS WITH LAB I (MATH161)> and
<ELEMENTARY MATHEMATICS AND CALCULUS WITH LAB (MATH163)>

<ELEMENTARY MATHEMATICS AND CALCULUS WITH LAB (MATH163)> is a course for students who studied natural sciences in high school, but lack confidence in calculus or mathematics in general.

<ELEMENTARY MATHEMATICS AND CALCULUS WITH LAB (MATH163)>(Interdepartmental Course) is intended for students lacking basic knowledge of calculus or who studied liberal arts in high school. This is also recommended for students who graduated from high schools outside of Korea. This is the easiest among the three calculus courses. Graduates of high school science programs are not allowed to take this course.

<CALCULUS WITH LAB I (MATH161)> is for students who exceled in “Differentiation and Integration” in high school, and have confidence in their mathematical skills. Chapters overlapping with the high school curriculum are omitted (necessary when considering the number of topics that can be covered in one year).
