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 or a Major Concentration in Statistics 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
  • Honours in Probability and Statistics
  • Joint Honours in Mathematics and Computer Science

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 91ºÚÁÏÍø 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 adviser.

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. ...

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

Students who have done well in MATH 242 and MATH 235 at the end of their first term should consider, in consultation with their adviser and the instructors of the courses involved, the possibility of entering into an Honours program in Mathematics, in Applied Mathematics, in Probability and Statistics, or a Joint Honours program in Mathematics and another...

For more information, see Major Concentration Mathematics (36 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)

Applied Mathematics is a very broad field and students are encouraged to choose a coherent program of complementary courses. Most students specialize in "continuous" or "discrete" applied mathematics, but there are many sensible combinations of courses, and the following informal guidelines should be discussed with the student's adviser. Also, aside from seeking to...

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

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

Students may complete this program with a minimum of 60 credits or a maximum of 63 credits depending if they are exempt from MATH 222.

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

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

The program provides training in probability and statistics, with a solid mathematical core, and basic training in computing. It prepares students for graduate school in probability, statistics, or data science. It also offers a path to a variety of careers in industry or government in the statistical sciences. With a suitable selection of complementary courses,...

For more information, see Honours Probability and Statistics (63 credits).

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

Students may complete this program with a minimum of 72 credits or a maximum of 78 credits depending if they are exempt from COMP 202/204/208 and/or MATH 222.

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