Electives and breadth requirements
All students must complete 42 elective credit hours including the four Applied and Industrial
Mathematics electives. Students not accepted to take MATH 4410U and MATH 4420U must
take an additional two senior science electives for a total of 48 elective credit hours. A senior
science elective is defined as any 3000- or 4000-level science course not specified in the
program map, excluding SCIE and ENVS courses. At least 24 elective credit hours must be in
science courses offered by the Faculty of Science including the Applied and Industrial
Mathematics Electives. The additional two senior science electives, if taken in place of MATH
4410U and MATH 4420U, cannot be used to meet this requirement. In order to satisfy breadth
requirements, no more than 9 additional elective credit hours may be in mathematics (MATH)
courses outside the 12 credit hours in Applied and Industrial Mathematics electives; at least 12
elective credit hours must be in courses outside the Faculty of Science.
Applied and Industrial Mathematics Electives:
MATH 3030U Introduction to Probability Theory
MATH 3040U Optimization
MATH 3070U Algebraic Structures
MATH 4030U Applied Functional Analysis
MATH 4041U Topics in Applied Mathematics I
MATH 4042U Topics in Applied Mathematics II
***
Thesis project or senior science elective courses
Students in clear academic standing who have completed 90 credit hours of their MATH
program and five third-year required courses may optionally apply to take a two-course sequence
consisting of MATH 4410U and MATH 4420U (Thesis Project in Mathematics I and II).
Students not accepted to take the thesis courses must complete two additional senior science
electives instead. A senior science elective is defined as any 3000- or 4000-level science course
not specified in the program map, excluding SCIE and ENVS courses. A student meeting the
above requirements who does not take MATH 4410U and MATH 4420U may optionally
apply to take MATH 4430U (Directed Studies in Mathematics) as one of the required senior
science electives. Opportunities for the Thesis Project and Directed Studies options are limited;
for either of these options, students must apply through Science Advising by March 30 following
completion of the first three years of the program.
Recommended senior science electives that students in the Applied and Industrial Mathematics
program may choose to take include:
CSCI 3010U Simulation and Modelling
CSCI 3070U Analysis and Design of Algorithms
CSCI 3090U Scientific Visualization and Computer Graphics
PHY 3020U Quantum Mechanics I
PHY 3050U Waves and Optics
PHY 3060U Fluid Mechanics
STAT 3010U Biostatistics
