Mathematics (code MATH)

Major Study

To satisfy the requirements for a major study in Mathematics, a student shall satisfactorily complete (at a grade of Pass or better) any MATH, STAT or INFO subjects listed in the Mathematics Schedule, to a total of at least 48 credit points; of which at least 18 credit points must be at 200- level and at least 24 credit points must be at 300- level.

The following suggested programs are intended as a guideline only in selecting suitable supplementary subjects to make a reasonable pattern for Mathematics degrees in the various fields of Mathematics.

All candidates are expected to consult with the School and Faculty advisers before committing themselves completely to any particular pattern, whether outlined below or not.

Double Major

A major in Mathematics can be combined with Applied Statistics, Computer Science, Economics, Econometrics, Accountancy, Management, Marketing, Finance or Biomedical Sciences.

Suggested Program in Industrial and Applied Mathematics (including Numerical Analysis)
