Four-Year B.Sc. Honors:
Applied Mathematics and Statistics in Environmetrics
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 in these courses to important and interesting problems of "the real world".
Environmental modelling is the application focus for this program with the emphasis being on the mathematical techniques needed to analyse the problems. The first step in solving an problem is to analyse exactly what the problem is, so this program emphasises in its "application" area lots of statistical analysis tools. You will also take several Environmental Science courses which will give you a good overview of the physical, chemical and geographic nature of the environment where you will learn to contribute to "being part of the solution".
