Pure Mathematics Minor

A "Pure Mathematics Minor" is available for honours and four-year general students in other faculties. This minor requires a total of ten math courses which must include the following specific courses:

One of

MATH 106 Applied Linear Algebra 1
MATH 114 Linear Algebra for Science
MATH 115 Linear Algebra for Engineering

One of

MATH 116 Calculus 1 for Engineering
MATH 117 Calculus 1 for Engineering
MATH 127 Calculus 1 for the Sciences

One of

MATH 118 Calculus 2 for Engineering
MATH 119 Calculus 2 for Engineering
MATH 128 Calculus 2 for the Sciences

Four PMATH courses, chosen in consultation with a Pure Mathematics advisor.

Three additional math courses which qualify for Bachelor of Mathematics (BMath) degree credit.

For the complete set of courses on the student's record that could be used to satisfy any of the course requirements above (a) the average of all passed courses (including repeated courses) must be at least 60% and (b) at most two courses may have failing grades.

Notes

  1. The Pure Mathematics minor designation is not available to students pursuing a joint honours with Mathematics.
  2. A student who obtains a Pure Mathematics minor may not also obtain another minor offered by the Faculty of Mathematics.
  3. The MATH courses listed above may be replaced by the equivalent courses for honours mathematics students. For example, instead of MATH 116 or 117 or 127, a student may take MATH 137 or 147.
