丁香园AV

Department of Mathematics | Faculty of Science
丁香园AV Calendar 2012 Summer

This program leads to a bachelor of science (BSc) honours degree.

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.

The remaining 30 units, of the required 48 upper division units that the Department of Mathematics requires, must be chosen from any upper division MATH or MACM courses.

Within the required 60 upper division units, 48 units will include requirements for the honours degree. Thirty-six upper division units must be chosen from upper division MATH or MACM courses, and the remaining 12 units may be chosen from the following course list.

• PHYS 413 Advanced Mechanics (3)
• STAT 330 Introduction to Mathematical Statistics (3)
• STAT 350 Linear Models in Applied Statistics (3)
• STAT 380 Introduction to Stochastic Processes (3)
• STAT 402 Generalized Linear and Nonlinear Modelling (3)
• STAT 430 Statistical Design and Analysis of Experiments (3)
• STAT 450 Statistical Theory (3)
• STAT 460 Bayesian Statistics (3)

At least five courses will be from 400 division courses, of which at least three courses will be in 400 division MATH or MACM courses. Directed studies, job practicum, or honours essay courses cannot be used to fulfil the 400 division requirement. Students are also required to complete an additional 15 upper division units chosen from any courses.

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

Elective Courses

Students obtain at least six units in courses offered by the Faculty of Science outside the Department of Mathematics, and the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science. Students will also obtain at least six units in Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences courses. (The two required CMPT courses and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences six unit requirement fulfil the Faculty of Science requirement that students complete 12 units from outside the Faculty of Science.)

Other Requirements

Of the total 132 units required for the honours, at least 12 units must be completed outside the Faculty of Science including at least six in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. At least 60 units must be from the upper division. A cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of at least 3.00 and an upper division grade point average of at least 3.00 are required. These averages are calculated on all courses completed at the University. If both averages are at least 3.50, the designation 'first class' applies.

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)
• 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 407) including six units minimum to be completed in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences

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.

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.
