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...

Transition 4 Mathematics
Mathematics

MATTR4 is a year-long course for students who have finished four years of high school mathematics. The goal of this sequence is to review and reinforce the precalculus mathematics students have previously seen, while introducing new concepts and techniques...

History of Mathematics
Mathematics

This is a one-trimester course focusing on the historical development of mathematical ideas, the role of individual character and culture in the advancement of mathematics, and the historical context of major discoveries and changes of viewpoint. Major themes...

Mathematics of Social Justice
Mathematics

This one-term course covers mathematical methods needed to analyze impacts of public policy with a particular emphasis on identifying undesirable outcomes such as discrimination, systematic bias, and inequity. Students will learn how to analyze empirical data...

Introduction to Symbolic Logic
Mathematics

The study of logic is at the crossroads of mathematics and philosophy, in which we identify principles underlying the ability to reason. Furthermore, logic aids us in determining the ideal ways in which reasoning should occur. Symbolic logic is the branch of...

Introduction to Statistics
Mathematics

This one-term course provides an overview of the questions addressed by statisticians. Students will discuss where data comes from, such as polls, surveys and experiments; they will study how to organize data and infer relationships between variables....

Transition 1 Mathematics
Mathematics

This transition option is for students with algebra experience, but little or no background in geometry. Students are placed in one of the following three courses in the fall term. MAT11T is for students who need a full year of algebra. It promotes to MAT120...

Algebra
Mathematics

These courses develop facility in working with numbers, tables, equations, inequalities and graphs. The focus is on solving word problems and reading carefully, and thus the building of algebra skills stems from the need to solve problems in a context, rather...
