Mathematics and Statistics have become crucial components in the understanding and exploration of more and more disciplines. Persons with a strong background in mathematical Sciences have access to a broad range of rewarding opportunities. Within the B.A. program, the Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers areas of concentration, majors and minors, both in Mathematics and Statistics. The Mathematics programs are designed to provide considerable flexibility for students to pursue their own interests, whether they be in the concepts of "pure" mathematics or techniques and applications. As a result, these programs open up opportunities for careers in many sectors such as business, education, government, industry, or medicine.

General Program Area of Concentration

Students without credit in OAC Calculus should take 63-100 then 63-121, and should take 63-120 as early as possible. Students without OAC Algebra and Geometry should first take 63-215 and then 63-216.

Mathematics Core Requirements for Honours

63-120 [0.50] Calculus I

63-121 [0.50] Calculus II

63-200 [0.50] Set Theory

63-216 [0.50] Linear Algebra I

63-220 [0.50] Advanced Calculus I

NOTE: For both a major and a minor, it is strongly recommended that 74-211 be included as an elective and be taken as early as possible.
