FOUR-YEAR BA OR BSc HONORS PURE MATHEMATICS

Successful completion of the program below will qualify students for an honors BA degree. A program of studies that includes at least twelve honors courses (200-499) offered by the Faculty of Science will qualify a student for the honors BSc degree.


Admission Requirements

A complete first year program of which three courses must be designated as principal courses. These principal courses must include one course chosen from Calculus 050a/b plus 051a/b (or Calculus 081a/b, with a mark of at least 85%), or Applied Mathematics 026. Linear Algebra 040a/b and Mathematics 060a/b are strongly recommended. Computer Science 025a or 026a/b, and 027a/b are strongly recommended.


Transition Program

For students who entered one of these programs before September 2003.


Second, Third, and Fourth Years

The following must be completed by the end of fourth year:

Mathematics 202a or Linear Algebra 040a/b, plus Mathematics 200a/b or the former Mathematics 203b;
Calculus 250a/b plus 251a/b;
Mathematics 208a/b, 207a/b, 302a, Mathematics 308a/b, Mathematics 304a/b, either Mathematics 305a/b or Differential Equations 215a, Mathematics 217a/b or the former Mathematics 306a/b, Mathematics 307a/b, 402a/b, 403a/b, 404a, 406a/b, plus two other courses in Mathematics numbered 300 or above.

Each of the above will be considered as a principal course in the year in which it is taken. At least three courses from the above list must be taken each year.

Effective 1999-2000, students registered in Second Year Honors Mathematics who have taken Linear Algebra 040a/b in place of Mathematics 202a must include Differential Equations 215a in their course selections in Second Year, to bring their principal course total to three courses. These students are then required to take sufficient courses numbered 300 and above in Third and Fourth Years to bring their principal course total to seven courses in those two years.


Subsidiary Courses

Sufficient other courses to bring the total number of courses taken in each year up to five courses.


Program Effective September 2003
Admission Requirements

A complete first year program of which three courses must be designated as principal courses. These courses must include one course chosen from Calculus 050a/b plus 051a/b (or Calculus 081a/b, with a mark of at least 85%), or Applied Mathematics 026.

Linear Algebra 040a/b and Mathematics 060a/b are strongly recommended. Computer Science 025a or 026a/b, and 027a/b are strongly recommended.


Second Year
Principal Courses

Calculus 250a/b, 251a/b, Mathematics 222a or Mathematics 201a/b, Mathematics 207a/b, Mathematics 200a/b or the former Mathematics 203b, Mathematics 217a/b.
Linear Algebra 040a/b if not taken in first year; Mathematics 208a/b must be taken in second or third year and will be counted as a principal course in the year in which it is taken.


Subsidiary Courses

Sufficient courses to bring the total to 5.0 courses.


Third Year
Principal Courses

Mathematics 208a/b if not taken in second year, or a Mathematics course numbered 300 or above
Mathematics 302a, 304a/b, 305b, 307a/b, 308a/b


Subsidiary Courses

Sufficient courses to bring the total to 5.0 courses.


Fourth Year
Principal Courses

Mathematics 403a, 404a, and 406b;
0.5 course chosen from Mathematics 411b, 414b, or 419b;
2.0 other Mathematics courses numbered 300 or above*


Subsidiary Course

1.0 Course

* Note: If more than 2.5 Mathematics courses numbered 300 or above were taken in year three, the extras may be deducted from this group. 6.5 Mathematics courses numbered 300 or above are required for this program.

Each of the above courses will be considered as a principal course in the year it is taken. At least 3.0 principal courses must be taken in each year.
