Four-Year B.Sc. Honors:
Applied Mathematics and Computer Science
This Honours Program has the Applied Mathematics Program 3 part structure of combining "analytical" math courses (like calculus, differential equations and linear algebra) with numerical and computational courses and with courses in an area where you will apply the ideas and techniques you learn to important and interesting problems of "the real world".
This program is a bit different from the other Honours Applied Mathematics programs. You can take all your courses in the math and computer science areas without any other area of application, if you like. You will do a lot more applicable math than most computer science students and more computing than most other applied mathematics students so you can become very expert in both areas -- and you will certainly be in demand when you graduate.

Mathematics counsellor.
