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...

Integrated Mathematics
Mathematics

The 200-level courses are geometry courses tied to algebraic processes. Students investigate lines, polygons, and vectors, in both two and three dimensions. Right-triangle trigonometry is introduced, as are circles and parabolas, the latter viewed from a...
