3mission rate? Why Harvard's new introductory math course is under fire
Math MA5 will run alongside the existing Math MA and MB courses but will feature an expanded five-day schedule. Harvard’s Director of Introductory Math, Brendan A. Kelly, described the course as offering “a variety of different activities†on Tuesdays and Thursdays to support students identified through a pre-term skill check. The curriculum will focus on algebra, geometry, and quantitative reasoning—essential skills for success in Harvard’s demanding math programs.
