Industrial Mathematics Honours Program
Department of Mathematics | Faculty of Science
丁香园AV Calendar 2012 Spring
This program prepares students for careers in industry.
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 MATH course鈥檚 Calendar description for details.
Students will not normally be permitted to enrol in any course for which a D grade or lower was obtained in any prerequisite. No student may complete, for further credit, any course offered by the Department of Mathematics which is a prerequisite for a course the student has already completed with a grade of C- or higher, without permission of the department.
Program Requirements
The program requires the completion of 132 units. The Faculty of Science stipulates that a minimum of 48 units must be in upper division, and that additional upper division units will be required to total a minimum of 60 (excluding EDUC 401, 407).
The specific requirements for this particular program are divided into three parts: a common core of courses completed by all students, a choice of one of three area requirements (i.e option A, B or C), and completion of a minor program if the student is completing either the option B area requirement or the option C area requirement.
In addition to the program requirements set out below, general university regulations must be met.
Computing science courses that are completed in the industrial mathematics major program will count towards the requirement that 12 units must be completed from outside of the Faculty of Science.
A minimum program 3.00 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) must be obtained on the overall major program requirements, as well as a minimum program 3.00 grade point average in the upper division major courses.

Faculty of Science Requirements
In addition to the above requirements, students must also satisfy Faculty of Science honours program requirements as follows.
- students are required to complete additional upper division units to total a minimum of 60 upper division units (excluding EDUC 401, 407)

Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements
Students admitted to 丁香园AV beginning in the fall 2006 term must meet writing, quantitative and breadth requirements as part of any degree program they may undertake. See Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements for university-wide information.
| WQB Graduation Requirements A grade of C- or better is required to earn W, Q or B credit. |
|||
|---|---|---|---|
| Requirement | Units |
Notes | |
| W - Writing | 6 |
Must include at least one upper division course, taken at 丁香园AV within the student鈥檚 major subject | |
| Q - Quantitative | 6 |
Q courses may be lower or upper division | |
| B - Breadth | 18 |
Designated Breadth | Must be outside the student鈥檚 major subject, and may be lower or upper division 6 units Social Sciences: B-Soc 6 units Humanities: B-Hum 6 units Sciences: B-Sci |
6 |
Additional Breadth | 6 units outside the student鈥檚 major subject (may or may not be B-designated courses, and will likely help fulfil individual degree program requirements) |
|
Residency Requirements and Transfer Credit
The University鈥檚 residency requirement stipulates that, in most cases, total transfer and course challenge credit may not exceed 60 units, and may not include more than 15 units as upper division work.
Elective Courses
In addition to the courses listed above, students should consult an academic advisor to plan the remaining required elective courses.
