Program
Requirements
You can specialize in Mathematics by "majoring" or "minoring" in the discipline. You can also combine Mathematics with a major or minor in another academic discipline for an interesting double major or major-minor combination. If you do not wish to major or minor in the field, you can still take Mathematics for interest as elective courses.
There are 6 Mathematics BA Programs:

Important Notice
i) Students planning a Mathematics degree should take the following courses in their first two years of studies:
GL/MATH/MODR 1930 3.0 & MATH/MODR 1940 3.0 – Calculus I & II
GL/MATH/MODR 2650 3.0 & MATH/MODR 2660 3.0 – Linear Algebra I & II
GL/MATH/MODR 2670 6.0 – Second-Year Calculus
In their third and fourth year students should choose their courses in consultation with a member of the Department of Mathematics. This is all the more important because some mathematics courses listed in the York calendar are offered in alternate years.
ii) GL/MATH/MODR 2670 6.0 Second-Year Calculus
Students graduating in Mathematics at Glendon must take the course GL/MATH/MODR 2670 6.0 – Second-Year Calculus to fulfil the requirements of their degree.
Note: This course cannot be replaced by similar courses offered at the Keele campus. The two courses SC/MATH 2310 3.0 (Calculus of Several Variables with Applications) and SC/MATH 3010 3.0 (Vector Integral Calculus) offered by the Mathematics Department of the Faculty of Science and Engineering will not count as equivalent credits to our Glendon mathematics course: GL/MATH/MODR 2670 6.0 – Second-Year Calculus.
Important Notice for Math BA from Glendon
iii) Due to budgetary constraints, the Department of Mathematics has suspended temporarily the Specialized Honours BA Program.
Students taking their major or minor in mathematics at Glendon are advised that they may have to take some 3000 or 4000 level mathematics courses at Keele campus in order to complete their Glendon mathematics degree. Such courses must be selected in consultation with the Chair of Glendon Mathematics. |
