- While the above schedule constitutes the recommended sequence by
which all program requirements are satisfied, other valid sequences are
possible. However, many of the required courses have one or more
prerequisites and students are advised to be cautious in departing from
the recommended schedule.
- The program must include at least 1.5 elective credits of
senior CP courses, at least 1.0 credit of which must be at the 400
level.
-
The program must include at least 1.0 credit of 400 level Mathematics courses.
- Students must meet both conditions A and B in each year of the program:
For progression and graduation:
A. GPA of 4.00 in MA credits and an overall GPA of 4.00
B. GPA of 4.00 in CP credits and an overall GPA of 4.00
-
Senior honours students are expected to attend all department seminars.
- MA110* covers the same calculus topics as MA103, but includes a
number of precalculus topics. Either MA110* or MA103 serves as
prerequisite for MA104. Typically, students do both MA103 and MA104 in Year 1, or MA110* in Year 1 and then MA104 in Year 2.
