The Faculty of Mathematics section of this Calendar contains regulations and requirements that must be satisfied to obtain a credential offered by the Faculty. All undergraduate students are also responsible for following the University Policies, Guidelines, and Academic Regulations section of this Calendar.

Table I - Degree Requirements

Legend

* The minimum co-op work-term course units for the Math/Chartered Accountancy and Teaching plans is 2.0.

** WKRPT courses have a credit weight of 0.13 units. A student needs PD 11 and three WKRPT courses to satisfy the ‘four work report’ requirement.

*** Students in Mathematical Studies plans are permitted up to 4.0 units of failed or excluded courses.

Communication Skills All degree candidates must satisfy the Communication Skills Requirement. See below.

The Terms Used in Table I are Explained Below

Term Term Description Calculus 1 Any of the following courses: MATH 116, MATH 117, MATH 127, MATH 137, MATH 147. Calculus 2 Any of the following courses: MATH 118, MATH 119, MATH 128, MATH 138, MATH 148. Course attempt Any course enrolment for which a student is assigned a final grade, including a grade of WD (Withdrew). Transfer credits from other institutions are also considered to be course attempts. Cumulative Average (CAV) See 'Averages for Math students' in Faculty Policies. Excluded course A course taken between fall 2004 and spring 2013 either with a grade below 50, or that a student has voluntarily excluded. Full-time term A term in which a student is enrolled in at least 1.5 course-attempt units. Linear Algebra 1 Any of the following courses: MATH 106, MATH 114, MATH 115, MATH 136, MATH 146. Major Average (MAV)

See 'Major averages for Math students' in Faculty Policies. Math Courses Courses with one of these prefixes: ACTSC, AMATH, CO, CS, MATBUS, MATH, PMATH, and STAT. Any course that is cross-listed with a course having one of these prefixes is also considered a math course, regardless of the label under which it is taken.

Non-math Courses Courses with the prefix COMM and MTHEL, and those courses offered by other faculties (excluding courses cross-listed with math courses and courses listed above as math courses). COOP, PD, and WKRPT courses do not count as math or non-math courses. Unit The credit value associated with any course. Normally, all courses offered in the Faculty of Mathematics have a value of 0.5 unit. Unusable Course Attempt A course attempt is counted as unusable if the course is not a COOP, PD, or WKRPT course and one of the following conditions holds; a failing grade is assigned (grade <50, DNW, FTC, NCR, NMR, or WF) (see Grades for descriptions), or

a CLC is assigned to the course attempt. Note: Starting in fall 2017, courses with WD grades will not count as unusable. However, if achieved prior to fall 2017, courses with WD grades will continue to count as unusable.

Communication Skills Requirement

Since strong communication skills are essential to academic, professional, and personal success, the Faculty places a particular emphasis on their development. With the exception of students in Software Engineering (SE), all students must successfully complete two communications courses:

Students in Computing and Financial Management (CFM) must take two of: ENGL 109, ENGL 119, EMLS/ENGL 129R, or SPCOM 223 with a grade of at least 65 before enrolling in 4A.

Students in Mathematics/Chartered Professional Accountancy (CPA) must take SPCOM 111 (usually taken in term 1B) and AFM 211.

Students in any Actuarial Science or Statistics plan must take one course chosen from List 1 (below), and ENGL 378/MTHEL 300. Students are expected to enrol in one of the courses in List 1 in their first term of study in the Faculty of Mathematics. A grade of at least 60% in a List 1 course is a prerequisite for enrolling in term 2A, and a grade of at least 70% is a prerequisite for ENGL 378/MTHEL 300. ENGL 378/MTHEL 300 is expected to be completed before enrolling in term 4A.

Students in the Business Administration and Computer Science Double Degree plan or the Business Administration and Mathematics Double Degree plan must take one course chosen from List 1 (below), and BUS 362W. BUS 362W is expected to be completed before enrolling in term 4A. Students must complete a course from List 1 with a grade of at least 60% prior to enrolling in term 2A.

Students in all other plans must take one course chosen from List 1, and one course chosen from List 2. Students are expected to enrol in one of the courses in List 1 in their first term of study in the Faculty of Mathematics, and must complete a course from List 1 with a grade of at least 60% prior to enrolling in term 2A. Students are encouraged to complete the second course by the end of term 2A.

List 1: First Course

The first course must be chosen from one of the following:

The first communication course should be taken on campus and must be completed with a grade of at least 60% prior to enrolling in a 2A term. Except for some students in the Double Degree plans, students are expected to enrol in one of these courses in their first term of study in the Faculty of Mathematics.

List 2: Second Course

The second course must be chosen from one of the following:

Notes

Students enrolled in SE must satisfy the Communication Skills Requirement as set by the Faculty of Engineering. SPCOM 111 will qualify as a List 1 course for students who are transferring from Accounting and Financial Management (AFM) and CPA. Transfer credits may be used to satisfy the Communication Skills Requirement. Students who do not complete the first course prior to their 2A term (except Computing and Financial Management students) will be restricted to enrolling in a course from the first list and two math courses until the first course requirement is met.
