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

Two of

STAT 220 Probability (Non-Specialist Level)
STAT 221 Statistics (Non-Specialist Level)
STAT 321 Regression and Forecasting (Non-Specialist Level)
STAT 322 Sampling and Experimental Design (Non-Specialist Level)

One of

CS 115 Introduction to Computer Science 1
CS 135 Designing Functional Programs
CS 145 Designing Functional Programs (Advanced Level)

One of

CS 116 Introduction to Computer Science 2
CS 136 Elementary Algorithm Design and Data Abstraction
CS 146 Elementary Algorithm Design and Data Abstraction (Advanced Level)

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

The average of all math courses must be at least 60%, and at most two math courses may have failing grades.

Notes

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