Notes

1. MATH 147 and MATH 148 provide highly desirable background for students in the Mathematical Finance plan.
2. AMATH 350 is an antirequisite of AMATH 351 and 353, and choosing this course limits selection in the last ‘One of’ list.
3. Students enrolled in the Business Administration and Mathematics Double Degree plan:
• may substitute BUS 283W for ACTSC 371
• may substitute BUS 393W for ACTSC 372
• are exempt from taking STAT 443, but can count it under the ‘One of AMATH 353, CO 372, CS 476, PMATH 453’ if they choose to take it.
4. Students currently or previously enrolled in the following plans: Business Administration and Mathematics Double Degree, Mathematics/Business Administration, Mathematics/Financial Analysis and Risk Management, Information Technology Management, and Mathematical Optimization – Business Specialization may substitute:
• STAT 371 for STAT 331.
