Mathematics teaches one to think analytically and creatively. It is a foundation for advanced careers in a knowledge-based economy. The past century has been a remarkable one for discovery in mathematics. Problems in computer science, physics, biology, and economics have opened new fields of mathematical inquiry, and discoveries at the most abstract level, for example in number theory, have led to breakthroughs in applied areas.
The Mathematical Sciences Specialist Program at U of T Mississauga provides students with a solid foundation in the fundamental theoretical aspects of the mathematical sciences along with a broad range of techniques for applying this theory. The Mathematical Sciences Minor Program and two Major Programs allow students a broad range of options to choose from and the flexibility to combine them with programs in other subjects. The Applied Mathematics Major emphasizes mathematical applications and the core mathematical and statistical foundations for them.
First-year Courses
Most first-year students at U of T Mississauga take courses in calculus and the following courses are offered at our campus: (MAT132H5 and MAT134H5), (MAT135H5 and MAT136H5), (MAT137H5 and MAT139H5), and (MAT157H5 and MAT159H5).
Students who wish to do a Major or Specialist in Computer Science, Mathematical Sciences, or Applied Statistics must take (MAT137H5 and MAT139H5) or (MAT157H5 and MAT159H5). Students in Physics or Economics who are mathematically inclined will also enjoy these courses. (MAT157H5 and MAT159H5) offer the rigour and depth needed to prepare students for advanced studies in mathematics. Students with a very serious interest in mathematics, including those who wish to pursue graduate-level studies in mathematics, should therefore consider taking (MAT157H5 and MAT159H5).
The courses (MAT132H5 and MAT134H5) and (MAT135H5 and MAT136H5) are comparable in terms of mathematical content and difficulty but differ in the nature of applications considered. (MAT132H5 and MAT134H5) are specifically designed for students in the Life Sciences and are often taken at the same time as (BIO152H5 and BIO153H5). (MAT135H5 and MAT136H5) give a sense of the wide-ranging applications of calculus to the physical, biological, and social sciences.
MAT133Y5 was previously offered to serve students in Commerce, Economics, or Management who do not wish to take courses in Mathematics or Statistics beyond the 100 level. This course is no longer offered at the UTM campus. Students interested in these programs should refer to the relevant program page to determine which calculus courses to enroll in.
MAT102H5 is a special course for beginning Mathematical Sciences students. It is intended to bridge the gap between high school mathematics, where mathematical proofs and logical arguments are often omitted, and university-level mathematics, where proofs are critical to a full understanding of the material.
A wide variety of upper-level courses is available to students who have the proper prerequisites. Students should feel free to consult the department regarding course selection.
Students should also review the Degree Requirements section prior to selecting courses
