Psychology

Required in combination with Statistical Science 1024A/B for Honors, Specialization, & Major modules. This course is intended primarily for students in the Social Sciences but may meet minimum requirements for some Biological or Basic Medical Sciences modules.

Management & Organizational Studies, Economics

This course is intended primarily for students in the social sciences but may meet minimum requirements for some Biological and Medical Sciences modules.

Course Programs

Math 1230 A/B – Calculus for Social Sciences

Antirequisite(s): Applied Mathematics 1201A/B, Applied Mathematics 1413, Calculus 1000A/B, Calculus 1301A/B, Calculus 1500A/B, Calculus 1501A/B, Mathematics 1225A/B.

Prerequisite(s): One or more of Ontario Secondary School MCV4U, Mathematics 0110A/B.

Math 1600 A/B – Linear Algebra I

Antirequisite(s): Applied Mathematics 1411A/B, Applied Mathematics 2811A/B.

Prerequisite(s): One or more of Ontario Secondary School MCV4U, Mathematics 1229A/B, Calculus 1000A/B or Calculus 1500A/B. Calculus 1000A/B or Calculus 1500A/B may be taken as a pre-or corequisite.

Calculus 1000 A/B – Calculus I

Antirequisite(s): Calculus 1500A/B, the former Calculus 1100A/B, Applied Mathematics 1413.

Prerequisite(s): Ontario Secondary School MCV4U or Mathematics 0110A/B.

Management & Organizational Studies, Finance, Economics, & Social Sciences

Review of differential calculus with transcendental functions; methods of integration; constrained and unconstrained multi-variable optimization, with applications; mathematical modelling with differential equations, including applications in Management, Finance, Economics, and Social Science.

Management & Organizational Studies

This course provides students with an additional mathematics half-course option to meet BMOS requirements. When taken in combination with Calculus 1000A/B, the combination will offer a richer exposure to both Calculus and Linear Algebra than the Math 1230A/B, 1229A/B combination; and when taken with Calculus 1301A/B, will allow for the possibility of further study in Math.

Economics, Mathematical Sciences, Most Science Programs, Higher Level Math Courses (Applied Math, Mathematics and Statistical & Actuarial Sciences)

A 0.5 course from Math 1230A/B, Calculus 1000A/B or Calculus 1100A/B and a 0.5 course from Math 1229A/B, Calculus 1301A/B, 1501A/B or Linear Algebra will be required for all modules in Economics (with the exception of the minor), the Major in Finance, as well as for Economics 2123A/B. The latter two economics half courses may be taken in partial fulfillment of the BA program in Economics or the Finance & Administration stream of the BMOS. Check the math requirements for courses in the second year of the program of interest Calculus 1000A/B is the more rigorous version than Math 1225A/B and should be suggested to students who have grades above 70% on the prerequisite and who wish to take additional math courses or who wish to pursue studies in the Mathematical Sciences.

Calculus 1301 A/B- Calculus II

Antirequisite(s): Calculus 1501A/B, Applied Mathematics 1413.

Prerequisite(s): A final mark of at least 55% in either Calculus 1000A/B or Calculus 1500A/B.

Economics, Mathematical Sciences, Most Science Programs, Higher Level Math, Management and Organizational Studies

Calculus 1301A/B is a slightly weaker course than Calculus 1501A/B. 1501A/B is intended primarily for students intending to pursue studies in Actuarial Science, Astronomy, Applied Mathematics, Mathematics, Physics or Statistics. Calculus 1301A/B is satisfactory for most other programs requiring a full year of calculus. For programs other than those in the Social Sciences, minimum average requirements would need to be met to apply the courses towards the degree. Please refer to the Academic Calendar for specific program requirements.

Statistical Sciences 1024 A/B – Introduction to Statistics

Antirequisite(s): All other courses or half courses in Introductory Statistics, except Statistical Sciences 1023A/B and Statistical Sciences 2037A/B.

Prerequisite(s): Grade 12U Mathematics or Mathematics 0109A/B, Mathematics 0110A/B or Mathematics 1229A/B.

Math 1228A/B and Statistical Science 1024A/B are required for all modules in Psychology (with the exception of the Minor in Psychology), because the course is not antirequisite to other statistics courses, students may take the course for either exploratory or preparatory reasons. Math 1228A/B, although not an official prerequisite, is excellent preparation for Statistical Sciences 1024A/B.
