Students may focus their program on one of two areas of interest by including a specified set of courses into their Major degree. Successful completion will mean that the area of concentration will appear on the transcript. Students should carefully plan their course selections to ensure that prerequisites for upper-level courses are obtained. Consultation with the Undergraduate Director on a regular basis is highly recommended.
A. Concentration in Mathematical Finance and Risk Management
The first 4.0 FCE required in the Concentration, up to and including Applied Mathematics 311, are the same as in the Major program. The remaining 16.0 FCE required in the Concentration are:
0.5 FCE - Mathematics 323
1.0 FCE - Computer Science 231 and 233 or Computer Science 235 and Actuarial Science 325
0.5 FCE - Pure Mathematics 421
1.0 FCE - Pure Mathematices 435 and 445 or 455 and 545
1.0 FCE - Statistics 407 and 409
0.5 FCE - Mathematics 411
3.0 FCE - Applied Mathematics 413, 481, 483, 491, 493, 581
4.0 FCE - Breadth requirement: Non-science options from the Faculties of Communication and Culture, Humanities, Fine Arts and Social Sciences and the Haskayne School of Business (check Table I in 3.4 Program Requirements for ineligible courses). Of these 4.0 FCE, at least one FCE must be from each of at least two of the aforementioned Faculties. Science 311 may be counted among the four FCE from other faculties
4.5 FCE - Options
B. Concentration in Computational Applied Mathematics
The first 4.0 FCE required in the Concentration, up to and including Applied Mathematics 311, are the same as in the Major program. The remaining 15.5 FCE required in the Concentration are:
0.5 FCE - Mathematics 323
1.0 FCE - Computer Science 231 and 233 or 235 and 0.5 FCE senior-level Computer Science option or Applied Mathematics option
0.5 FCE - Software Engineering 301
0.5 FCE - Pure Mathematics 421
1.0 FCE - Pure Mathematics 435 and 445 or 455 and 545
