Math 1005H - Applied Calculus

 An introduction to the methods and applications of calculus. Derivatives, exponential and logarithmic functions, optimization problems, related rates, integration, partial derivatives, differential equations. Selected applications from the natural and social sciences. Not available to students enrolled in or with credit for MATH 1100[110] . Not for credit towards a major in Mathematics.

  • Prerequisite: A Grade 12U or U/C mathematics course or an OAC mathematics course.

Math 1050 - A non-calculus-based introduction to probability & statistical methods

Data summary, elementary probability, estimation, hypothesis testing, comparative methods, analysis of variance, regression, nonparametric methods, introduction to elementary applications of statistical computing. This course uses high school mathematics as a foundation and involves the use of computers. Not credited toward Mathematics major requirements, nor available to students enrolled in, or with credit for Mathematics-Statistics 251H or Mathematics 110.

  • Meetings: Three lectures weekly, one-hour problems session fortnightly.

Math 1100 - Calculus of one variable

An examination of the concepts and techniques of calculus, with applications to other areas of mathematics and the physical and social sciences.

  • Prerequisite: Grade 12 Advanced Functions or equivalent with at least 60%; a pass mark on math skills assessment administered by Department of Mathematics; or permission of instructor.
  • Strongly recommended: Grade 12U Calculus and Vectors.
  • Excludes: MATH 110 and 1101Y.

Math 1101 - Functions and calculus of one variable

An examination of the concepts and techniques of calculus, with applications to other areas of mathematics and the physical and social sciences. Includes same content as MATH 1100Y, with an additional lecture hour per week devoted to development of pre-calculus skills.

  • Note: As an entrance requirement for more advanced science and math courses, MATH 1101 is equivalent to MATH 1100. This means MATH 1101 can be used as a prerequisite (or corequisite) for any course which has MATH 1100 as a prerequisite (or corequisite). Prerequisite: Grade 12 Advanced Functions or equivalent with at least 60%; completion of math skills assessment administered by Department of Mathematics; or permission of instructor.
  • Excludes: MATH 110 and 1100Y.

Math 1350H - Linear Algebra I: Matrix Algebra

Vectors, systems of linear equations, matrices, determinants, linear transformations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Excludes Mathematics 130.

  • Prerequisite: A Grade 12U or U/C mathematics course or OAC Mathematics credit with at least 60%.

Math 1550H - Introduction to probability

Probability, random variables, probability distributions. Not available to students with credit for Mathematics-Statistics 251H.

  • Corequisite: MATH 1005H[105H] or MATH 1100[110] taken previously or concurrently.
