Four-Year B.Sc. Program in Applied Mathematics:
Mathematical and Computational Methods
This Honors 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".
The program features the core mathematics needed by an Applied Mathematician and it will give an especially strong grounding in computer skills. The area of application is left completely open for you to choose. (And if you don't need a first year Physics course as prerequisite for a senior course in your area of application you don't need a first year Physics in this program.) You may match your skills with an interest in Biochemistry or Economics, for example. Mathematical modelling is increasingly important in many many areas. Choose your area of interest and join up!

Admission Requirements
A first year program with a mark of at least 60% in Calculus 050a/b plus 051a/b or Applied Mathematics 026, and Physics 020 or 024 or 025 as principal courses. Linear Algebra 040a/b is strongly recommended. Students in this program are encouraged to combine their Applied Mathematics with an area of application. With the permission of the Department, the Physics requirement can be replaced by a principal course in another area.
