==Prerequisite Knowledge==
 
Almost no prerequisite knowledge is required, apart from algebra and trigonometry.
 
==Equivalent Courses==
 
* [[MATH 1554]] is a much more in-depth course that covers additional topics such as singular value decomposition (SVD).
 
*[[MATH 1564]] is the honors equivalent, which uses proofs and is more theoretical than MATH 1553.
 
MATH 1553 does ''not'' give credit for MATH 1554 or 1564.

====How it fits in the curriculum====
==Registration==

==Current Registration Info==
MATH 1553 is a [[linked course]] with a [[studio]] and [[Shared Test Period|shared test period]].
+
This is a [[linked course]] with a [[Test period|common exam period]].
  +
  +
Unlike nearly all other linked courses, MATH 1553 denotes the section letter (eg. A) as "Studio" and the section letter-numbers (eg. A01) as "Lecture". This is likely an error, or maybe a special case resulting from the hybrid/remote class format in 2020. This causes a bug in [https://github.com/gt-scheduler/website/issues/42 gt-scheduler] where it doesn't do the lecture-studio matching correctly, so please double check your schedule to ensure that the Studio and Lecture sections have the same letter. See: [https://oscar.gatech.edu/bprod/bwckctlg.p_disp_listcrse?term_in=202108&subj_in=MATH&crse_in=1553&schd_in=% OSCAR list of all sections]

===[https://oscar.gatech.edu/bprod/bwckctlg.p_disp_course_detail?cat_term_in=202108&subj_code_in=MATH&crse_numb_in=1553 Prerequisites]===
  +
At least one of the following:
  +
  +
* D or higher in MATH 1113 (Precalculus).
  +
* D or higher in MATH 1552 (Integral Calculus) or equivalent.
  +
* 620 or higher on the Math section of the SAT
  +
* 26 or higher on the Math section of the ACT.
  +
  +
===Courses that give the same credit===
  +
[[MATH 1554 - Linear Algebra|MATH 1554]], MATH 1564
  +
 
Note: Taking MATH 1553 will not give you credit for MATH 1554 or 1564.
