The Department of Mathematics offers a unique program, Mathematics Integrated with Computers and Applications (MICA). This innovative program fully integrates computers and applications into a broad spectrum of courses that range over pure mathematics (the study of mathematics for its own sake), applied mathematics (mathematics for applications) and statistics. With its special focus on technology, the MICA program is especially suited for students desiring careers in applications of mathematics that involve computing. Within the MICA program, students can also form areas of concentration in applied and computational mathematics, mathematics education, pure mathematics or statistics, or they can choose to have no area of concentration.

Students in the MICA program get a solid grounding in mathematical theory and learn how to use computer and information technology to apply and present what they have learned. The core of the MICA program consists of MATH 1P40 and 2F40 in which students will confront problems from pure and applied mathematics that require experimental and heuristic approaches. In dealing with such problems, students will be expected to develop their own strategies and make their own choices about the best combination of mathematics and computing required to find solutions.

The Computer Science and Mathematics Co-op program combines academic and work terms over a period of four and one-half academic years. Students spend one and one-half years in an academic setting studying the fundamentals of Computer Science and Mathematics prior to their first work placement. Successful completion of courses in the core areas of Computer Science and Mathematics provides the necessary academic background for the work experience. In addition to the current fees for courses in academic study terms, Computer Science and Mathematics Co-op students are assessed an administrative fee for each work term (see the Schedule of Fees).

Eligibility to continue in the Computer Science and Mathematics Co-op program is based on the student's major and non-major averages. A student with a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent non-major average may continue. A student with a major average lower than 70 percent will not be permitted to continue in the Computer Science and Mathematics Co-op program, but may continue in the non-co-op Computer Science and Mathematics stream. If a student subsequently raises his/her major average to 70 percent, the student may be readmitted only if approved by the Co-op Admissions Committee. For further information, see the Co-op Programs section of the Calendar.

The Computer Science and Mathematics Co-op program designation will be awarded to those students who have honours standing and who have successfully completed a minimum of twelve months of Co-op work experience.

The Department has a special interest in Mathematics Education and offers several programs and courses specifically for prospective teachers. These include both Concurrent and Consecutive Education Programs as well as Minors for future teachers.

Certain courses are required for any degree in Mathematics (see below). Because a Mathematics major needs both facility in dealing with mathematical theories and experience in the application of mathematics to real-world problems, each student should discuss his or her particular interests with faculty before selecting elective courses.

Program Notes

All students must take three context credits: one Humanities context credit, one Science context credit and one Social Science context credit. Two credits must be used to satisfy context credit requirements in year 1.
Students intending to pursue graduate studies in Pure Mathematics will find it essential to have MATH 4P03 and 4P05 or MATH 4P11 and 4P12 and desirable to have all of them.
MATH 3F40 is not required for students who fulfil the requirements of the concentration in Mathematics Education or concentration in Statistics.
In all 20 credit degree programs, at least 12 credits must be numbered 2(alpha)00 or above, six of which must be numbered 2(alpha)90 or above and of these, three must be numbered 3(alpha)90 or above. In all 15 credit degree programs, at least seven credits must be numbered 2(alpha)00 or above, three of which must be numbered 2(alpha)90 or above.
