*Note: Students taking the Calculus AB test have covered most of the topics contained in COS-MATH-161, but may not have seen infinite sequences, geometric series, and separable differential equations. Hence it is recommended that credit for COS-MATH-161 be not given to those who have completed only AP Calculus AB exam.
