I happened to notice this whimsical-looking Veritas shield. There’s no signage that suggests any connection to Harvard, so I looked it up and found that this was the “Harvard building” according to the building management website. What does that even mean? I haven’t found any other info about it.

hey guys! incoming freshman at harvard and i was recommended to take math 1b in the fall thru the placement exam. for context, i took calc AB sophomore yr in hs (got a 5) but never actually took BC. instead i took a cc calc 2 course my senior fall semester which i got an A in.

my issue is that i genuinely crammed so hard in that cc class like i learned material before the exam. don’t know how i retained it but i did. so on the placement exam i completely forgot series and wtv else and js guessed tho i’m p sure i learned at least half of it. i don’t wanna take 1b, and i want to accelerate to the next math level (planning on majoring in econ, interested in quant/engineering so i def need a good math background).

should i skip 1b? if i do that i’m worried ill struggle a lot in a higher math bc i lowk forgot stuff and idk if i have time to relearn before the fall (?) but if i don’t skip 1b i lose a semester doing this stuff again. another thing is some ppl said 1b is actually harder than 21a so ya.

fall schedule i’m thinking: ec10a, expos 20, math and a fy seminar

any advice would be appreciated. is this something i can ask my advisor about too?? thanks!!
