Basic Calculus A: Requirement and Recommended Timing
This page explains whether Basic Calculus A is required, when it is scheduled, and how it fits different study models in the 2025 curriculum.
Requirement and curriculum placement
In the 2025 curriculum for the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Saitama Hatoyama Campus, Basic Calculus A is a required specialized foundational mathematics course. It is allocated to the first year and the first semester, carries 2 credits, and is taught as a lecture. In the Electronic Information and Biomedical Engineering study model, Basic Calculus A is also explicitly listed among the courses that must be taken.
Recommended timing
Basic Calculus A is one of four courses—together with Basic Calculus B and Basic Linear Algebra A and B—that students are recommended to take as early as possible during their first year.
For students aiming for the Physics course
Students who plan to pursue the Physics course need to develop a foundation in mathematics, including Basic Calculus A and B and Basic Linear Algebra A and B.
