Four-Year B.Sc. Honors:
Applied Mathematics and Statistics
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 primarily intended to give you applied mathematics and statistics skills that can be immediately applied in industry. It has an unusually good concentration in these two areas -- there is no requirement for an outside area of application, though if you intend to seek a position in business or industry on graduation, you probably will consider taking options such as Business 257 and perhaps include a course in finance.

Mathematics counsellor.
