Applied Mathematics

Enrolment in this Specialization is limited; a minimum cumulative average of 70% is strongly recommended.

The Engineering Specialization has three theme areas: Fluids and Heat, Communication and Control, and Heat and Mass Transfer. Students must choose only one. 

The Engineering Specialization has the same requirements as Honours Applied Mathematics, with the constraints on course selection for each theme as given below:

Theme 1: Fluids and Heat

• All of
  • AMATH 271 Introduction to Theoretical Mechanics
  • AMATH 361 Continuum Mechanics
  • AMATH 463 Fluid Mechanics
  • GENE 123 Electrical Circuits and Instrumentation
  • ME 219 Mechanics of Deformable Solids 1
  • ME 250 Thermodynamics 1
  • ME 353 Heat Transfer 1
  • ME 354 Thermodynamics 2
  • ME 456 Heat Transfer 2
  • PHYS 122 Waves, Electricity and Magnetism
• One of
  • CO 250 Introduction to Optimization
  • CO 255 Introduction to Optimization (Advanced Level)
  • STAT 331 Applied Linear Models
  • STAT 340 Stochastic Simulation Methods
• One of
  • ME 557 Combustion 1
  • ME 564 Aerodynamics
  • ME 571 Air Pollution

Notes

1. ME courses can be used to fulfil the subject concentration requirement of the Honours Applied Mathematics academic plan.
2. AMATH 361 and AMATH 463 can be used to satisfy the 300- and 400-level AMATH course requirements of the Honours Applied Mathematics plan.
