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...

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...

Selected Topics in Math
Mathematics

The topics in MAT690 will be studied with an emphasis on intuition and computational facility. At the same time, one should note that commitment to pursue difficult mathematical ideas is a necessary quality for doing well. While some theorems and their proofs...

Foundations of Abstract Mathematics
Mathematics

This course constitutes a bridge between calculus and theoretical, proof-based courses such as real analysis, abstract algebra and set theory. The emphasis is on understanding and mastering increased levels of rigor, dealing with mathematical notation, and...
