Students wishing to major in any of the Department of Mathematics programs should seek department advice early about program planning.
For descriptions and prerequisites, see “Mathematics MATH” on page 417, and “Mathematics and Computing Science MACM” on page 422.
The Department of Mathematics offers a program of study within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences leading to a bachelor of arts degree with a major or honors in mathematics. Students interested in a bachelor of science in mathematics should see page 196 in the Faculty of Science section. Requirements for the bachelor of arts in mathematics are set out below.
General Regulations
BA mathematics major or honors must satisfy the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences requirements and the general University cumulative GPA and unit requirements. See “Mathematics MATH” on page 417 for entry requirements and department workshops.
Prerequisite Grade Requirement
To enrol in a course offered by the Department of Mathematics, a student must obtain a grade of C- or better in each prerequisite course. Some courses may require higher prerequisite grades. Check the course’s Calendar description for details.
Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements
Students completing degree programs must fulfil writing, quantitative and breadth requirements as part of their program. See “Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements” on page 7 for more information. For the faculty’s requirements, see “Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements” on page 88.
Beginning Level Requirements
See “Beginning Level Requirements” on page 197 for information concerning the Quantitative Placement Test, beginning mathematics courses and prerequisites.
Lower Division Requirements
Students complete either
CMPT 126-3 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming
or both of
CMPT 120-3 Introduction to Computing Science and Programming I
CMPT 125-3 Introduction to Computing Science and Programming II
and one of
MATH 150-4 Calculus I with Review
MATH 151-3 Calculus I
and all of
MACM 101-3 Discrete Mathematics I
MACM 201-3 Discrete Mathematics II
MACM 202-4 Mathematical Modeling and Computation
MATH 152-3 Calculus II
MATH 232-3 Elementary Linear Algebra
MATH 242-3 Introduction to Analysis I
MATH 251-3 Calculus III
STAT 270-3 Introduction to Probability and Statistics
Note: With a C grade or better in relevant courses, these substitutions are permitted: MATH 154 or 157 for 151, MATH 155 or 158 for 152. Also, with a B grade or better, MATH 232 for 240. However, where possible, students are strongly encouraged to complete MATH 151, 152 and 240.
Upper Division Requirements
All students must complete at least one from each of the following four groups of courses including one of
MATH 308-3 Introduction to Optimization
MATH 343-3 Applied Discrete Mathematics
MATH 345-3 Introduction to Graph Theory
and one of
MATH 320-3 Introduction to Analysis II
MATH 322-3 Complex Variables
and one of
MATH 338-3 Advanced Linear Algebra
MATH 341-3 Algebra III: Groups
MATH 342-3 Elementary Number Theory
and one of
MATH 310-3 Introduction to Ordinary Differential Equations
MACM 316-3 Numerical Analysis I
BA mathematics major students must obtain at least 30 units in upper division mathematics (MATH), or mathematics/computing science (MACM), or PHYS 413, or from the following statistics (STAT) courses: STAT 330, 350, 380, 402, 430, 450 and 460.
Of the 30 unit minimum total required for the mathematics major, at least 24 must be MATH or MACM courses. At least three of the courses used to satisfy this 30 unit requirement must be 400 division, of which at least two must be 400 division MATH or MACM courses. Students may not use a directed studies, job practicum, or honors essay course to fulfil the 400 division requirement.
Honors Program Specific Requirements
In addition to the major program requirements, BA honors must complete CMPT 225, MATH 252 and obtain at least 18 additional units in upper division mathematics (MATH), or mathematics/computing science (MACM) courses, PHYS 413, or from the list of approved STAT courses listed under Upper Division Requirements for the Mathematics Major Program. Of this minimum 48 upper division units, at least 36 must be MATH or MACM courses.
At least five of the courses used to satisfy the 48 unit requirement must be 400 division, of which at least three must be MATH or MACM courses. Directed studies, job practicum or honors essay course may not be used to fulfil the 400 division requirement.
Note: Major or honors mathematics students should complete an upper division statistics course and an upper division MACM or CMPT course.
Majors and Honors Program Electives
The student’s program should include at least 65 units in arts subjects. Department of Mathematics courses may be counted. Also, the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences breadth requirements must be met. Major students complete at least 45 upper division units including the major program requirements. Honors students must complete at least 60 upper division units including the honors requirements.
Minor Program
For requirements, see “Department of Mathematics” on page 196 in the Faculty of Science section.
This program consists of the lower division requirements for a major and the upper division requirements for a minor. A student must have their extended minor program approved by the advisor.
