Applied Mathematics AMAT

Instruction offered by members of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics in the Faculty of Science.

Notes:

  • For listings of related courses, see Actuarial Science, Mathematics, Pure Mathematics and Statistics.
  • Effective Fall 2014, Mathematics 265, 267, 367, Mathematics 275, 277, 375 and 377 replaced respectively Mathematics 251, 253, 353, Applied Mathematics 217, 219, 307 and 309 and serves as prerequisites for appropriate courses. In some special cases, Mathematics 267 replaces Mathematics 349 or 353. For these and other deviations from the general rule, see individual course entries for details. Mathematics 267 supplemented by Mathematics 177 will be accepted as equivalent to Mathematics 277.
