Department vs. Faculty Regulations

Programs in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics are governed by a combination of general Faculty of Science regulations and the additional program specific regulations listed below.

It is essential for students to be familiar with both sets of regulations. It is helpful to read Section 3 (Faculty Regulations) first.

Students should consult the Degree Navigator periodically to ensure that all requirements are being met. Also, students are strongly urged to consult the Department at all stages of their program.

Department Information

Divisions

  • Division of Applied Mathematics
  • Division of Pure Mathematics
  • Division of Statistics and Actuarial Science

Courses offered by the Department bear the labels Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Pure Mathematics, Statistics, and Actuarial Science. Note that (1) the course descriptions appear in the back of this Calendar in five non-contiguous alphabetically arranged blocks, and (2) "Mathematics" is a course label but not a Major field.

All students intending to pursue a Major or Honours program in Applied Mathematics, Pure Mathematics, Statistics, or Actuarial Science should consult the Undergraduate Director. The Undergraduate Director can provide advice on such important matters as specialized programs available within the field, recommended course sequences, possible combinations of Major and Minor fields and recommended undergraduate study leading to graduate study.

Diagnostic Testing and First-Year Mathematics Prerequisites

Refer to C.1 Mathematics Diagnostic Test in the Academic Regulations section.

Special Assessment (Challenge Examinations)

Students who are enrolled in Mathematics 211 or 249 or 251 or 253, but who feel that they have already mastered the course material, may take a challenge examination during the first week of classes. Students who pass the appropriate test are granted special assessment status for that course and direct entry into Mathematics 253, 271, 283, 311, 349. Credit will be given for the course taken by special assessment, a grade assigned, and the regular course fee will be assessed. Students interested in pursuing special assessment should consult the Department during the first week of classes.

Core Courses

All programs include the following common core of courses:
