Mathematics

Imagine yourself at the board presenting solutions to problems and sharing your results as your classmates ask pertinent questions. Together the class learns to read, write, explore and communicate mathematics with...

Introduction to Calculus
Mathematics

Amid a rich interplay of precalculus concepts, the study of calculus officially begins. Topics include complex numbers, polar coordinates, probability, recursion, functional notation, slope, velocity, asymptotes, the fundamental constant e, the Euler identity...

Introduction to Calculus (enriched)
Mathematics

This course covers the material of MAT410 in greater depth and also does some additional...

Calculus – A Lab Approach
Mathematics

This three-term sequence of courses covers topics from differential and integral calculus. The problem-centered curriculum is built around weekly labs that emphasize graphical and numerical investigations. The focus of these investigations is to develop...

Statistics
Mathematics

This sequence of courses is offered fall (MAT41S), winter (MAT42S) and spring (MAT43S). MAT41S covers the basic principles of descriptive statistics. One-variable topics include graphical representations of data, measures of central tendency and measures of...

Transition to Calculus
Mathematics

This option provides a two- or three-term transition for students with three full years of high school mathematics. MAT31T and MAT34T are primarily for entering uppers. MAT31T/32T provides a two-term transition into our 300-level courses (advanced integrated...

Calculus
Mathematics

This four-term sequence presents a comprehensive and inductive approach to calculus. Working within contexts whenever possible, key concepts are developed with applications in mind. Students learn to read the language of differential equations, and to...

Calculus (enriched)
Mathematics

This four-term sequence covers all the material of the 420/430/510/520 courses, with additional applications and explorations, and in greater depth. Working within contexts whenever possible, key concepts are developed with applications in mind. Students...

Multivariable Calculus
Mathematics

This two-term sequence re-examines the differentiation and integration processes, and investigates topics such as partial derivatives, level curves and gradients, moving frame description for space curves, the analysis of critical points, double and triple...

Linear Algebra
Mathematics

MAT640 is an introduction to the theory of linear algebra, the study of systems of linear equations and their solutions. The interplay between algebra and geometry affords powerful and quite different insights into the subject. Topics include: Gaussian...
