About Mathematics and Statistics

About Mathematics and Statistics

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers programs in both Arts and Science. For a list of teaching staff and an outline of the nature of the discipline, refer to Faculty of Science > Undergraduate > Browse Academic Units & Programs > Mathematics and Statistics (MATH).

A Desautels Faculty of Management B.Com. degree with a Major Concentration in Mathematics is also available.

Students entering a Mathematics program are normally expected to have completed MATH 133; MATH 139 or MATH 140; MATH 141; or their equivalents. Otherwise, they will be required to make up any deficiencies in these courses over and above the program credits.

The following programs are specifically for Arts students:

  • Minor Concentration Mathematics
  • Supplementary Minor Concentration Mathematics
  • Major Concentration Statistics
  • Minor Concentration Statistics
  • Supplementary Minor Concentration Statistics
  • Major Concentration Mathematics
  • Joint Honours Component Mathematics

The following programs may be taken by students in either Arts or Science:

  • Honours in Applied Mathematics
  • Honours in Mathematics
  • Joint Honours in Mathematics and Computer Science
  • Honours in Statistics

Students entering one of the Minor or Major Concentrations listed below who have successfully completed a course equivalent to MATH 222 (Calculus 3) prior to coming to 海角社区 are given exemption from taking MATH 222, but must replace it with a Complementary Mathematics course in the program of at least 3 credits. For more information, consult an advisor.

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Minor Concentration Mathematics (18 credits)

The Minor Concentration Mathematics is offered in two versions: an expandable version, for students who wish to leave open the option of expanding the program into a Major Concentration Mathematics, and a non-expandable version for students who know on entry into the Minor that they do not wish to expand it into a major concentration. ...

For more information, see Minor Concentration Mathematics (18 credits).

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Supplementary Minor Concentration in Mathematics (18 credits)

This Minor concentration is open only to students registered in the Major Concentration Mathematics. Taken together, these two concentrations constitute a program equivalent to the Major in Mathematics offered by the Faculty of Science. ...

For more information, see Supplementary Minor Concentration in Mathematics (18 credits).

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Minor Concentration Statistics (18 credits)

The Minor Concentration Statistics is offered only in a non-expandable version, that is, one that cannot be expanded into the Major Concentration Mathematics. ...

For more information, see Minor Concentration Statistics (18 credits).

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Supplementary Minor Concentration Statistics (18 credits)

Students may complete this program with a minimum of 18 credits or a maximum of 20 credits. ...

For more information, see Supplementary Minor Concentration Statistics (18 credits).

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Major Concentration Statistics (36 credits)

The program provides training in statistics with a mathematical core. Taken together with the B.A.; Supplementary Minor Concentration in Statistics, these two programs constitute an equivalent of the B.Sc.; Major in Statistics program offered by the Faculty of Science. With satisfactory performance in an appropriate selection of courses, these two programs can lead...

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Major Concentration Mathematics (36 credits)

The B.A.; Major Concentration in Mathematics aims to provide an overview of the foundations of mathematics.

For more information, see Major Concentration Mathematics (46 credits).

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Joint Honours Component Mathematics (36 credits)

Students who wish to study at the Honours level in two Arts disciplines may apply to combine Joint Honours program components from two Arts disciplines. For a list of available Joint Honours programs, see "Overview of Programs Offered" and "Joint Honours Programs". ...

For more information, see Joint Honours Component Mathematics (36 credits).

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) - Honours Applied Mathematics (63 credits)

The B.Sc.; Honours in Applied Mathematics provides an in-depth training, at the honours level, in 鈥渄iscrete鈥 or 鈥渃ontinuous鈥 applied mathematics. It gives the foundations and necessary tools to explore some areas such as numerical analysis, continuous and discrete optimization, graph theory, discrete probability. The program also provides the background required...

For more information, see Honours Applied Mathematics (63 credits).

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) - Honours Mathematics (63 credits)

The B.Sc.; Honours in Mathematics provides an in-depth training, at the honours level, in mathematics. It gives the foundations and tools needed to explore diverse areas of mathematics such as analysis, number theory, geometry, geometric group theory, and probability. This program may be completed with a minimum of 60 credits or a maximum of 63 credits.

For more information, see Honours Mathematics (63 credits).

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) - Honours Mathematics and Computer Science (78 credits)

The B.Sc.; Honours in Mathematics and Computer Science provides a rigorous training, at the honours level, in mathematics and computer science, while exploring the interaction between the two fields. This program may be completed with a minimum of 72 credits or a maximum of 78 credits.

For more information, see Honours Mathematics and Computer Science (78 credits).

Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) - Honours Statistics (63 credits)

The B.Sc.: Honours in Statistics provides training, at the honours level, in statistics, with a solid mathematical core, and basic training in computing. With a suitable selection of complementary courses, the program can focus on probability, mathematical statistics, applied statistics, actuarial science and finance, or data science. With satisfactory performance...
