丁香园AV Calendar 2013 Spring

This program is offered co-operatively by the Department of Mathematics and the School of Computing Science. In general, students are expected to meet the requirements of both the department and the school with respect to admission, continuation and graduation requirements.

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 courses 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

Students complete 120 units as specified below.

Course and prerequisite admission is subject to departmental requirements.

Faculty of Applied Sciences residency requirements apply to the computing science courses used toward the program. The program is subject to Faculty of Science and University regulations.

Lower Division Requirements

Students complete at least 36-41 units, including either one of

• CMPT 126 Introduction to Computing Science and Programming (3)

or both of

• CMPT 120 Introduction to Computing Science and Programming I (3)
• CMPT 125 Introduction to Computing Science and Programming II (3)

and all of

Upper Division Requirements

Students complete at least 15 units, including all of

• CMPT 307 Data Structures and Algorithms (3)
• MACM 316 Numerical Analysis I (3)
• MATH 340 Algebra II: Rings and Fields (3)

and one of

• CMPT 300 Operating Systems I (3)
• CMPT 371 Data Communications and Networking (3)
• CMPT 379 Principles of Compiler Design (3)

and one of

• MATH 308 Linear Optimization (3)
• MATH 310 Introduction to Ordinary Differential Equations (3)
• MATH 345 Introduction to Graph Theory (3)

Additional work is required to total 21 upper division MATH and 24 upper division CMPT units including core requirements. MACM are counted in an alternating fashion toward the MATH and CMPT requirements, starting with the first MACM course completed, counting toward either MATH or CMPT. Twelve units must be at the 400 division or higher, including at least three units each of CMPT and MATH.

Faculty of Science Requirements

In addition to the above requirements, students must also satisfy Faculty of Science major program requirements to complete a total of 120 units including

• additional upper division units to total a minimum of 44 upper division units (excluding EDUC 401 to 406)
• students who were enrolled at 丁香园AV between fall 1991 and summer 2006 are required to complete a minimum of 12 units in subjects outside the Faculty of Science (excluding EDUC 401 to 406) including six units minimum to be completed in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences

Residency Requirements and Transfer Credit

The University's 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.

• at least half of the program's total units must be earned through 丁香园AV study
• at least two thirds of the program's total upper division units must be earned through 丁香园AV study
• at least two thirds of the upper division units in the courses of a school offering (or joint offering) must be earned through that school at 丁香园AV

For information regarding transfer, consult a Mathematics or Applied Sciences Advisor.

Elective Courses

In addition to the courses listed above, students should consult an academic advisor to plan the remaining required elective courses.

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.

Other Requirements

The program is subject to Faculty of Science and University regulations. Course and prerequisite admission is subject to departmental requirements. MACM major graduation is contingent upon a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and upper division grade point average (UDGPA) of 2.00 or better. Students must also achieve a 2.00 or better CGPA and UDGPA in each of the CMPT, MACM and MATH designations. Faculty of Applied Sciences residency requirements apply to the computing science courses used toward the program.

Co-operative Education and Work Experience

All computing science students are strongly encouraged to explore the opportunities that Work Integrated Learning (WIL) can offer. Please contact a computing science or mathematics co-op advisor during the first year of studies to ensure that you have all of the necessary courses and information to help plan for a successful co-op experience.
