Course Descriptions

Mathematics

Please find below a selection of the courses associated with the Mathematics program. For a complete list of courses, please consult the Academic Calendar. 

234.11 – MATH: Applied Finite Mathematics
This course involves modeling and solving real-world problems using linear equations, linear inequalities, matrices, graph theory, Markov chains, linear programming and mathematics of finance.

234.21 – MATH: Vector Geometry and Linear Algebra
This course is an introduction to matrices (and their applications in, for example, solving systems of linear equations); vectors and geometries in two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and Euclidean (n-dimensional) spaces; and General vector spaces.

234.22 – MATH: Introduction to Calculus
This course introduces differentiation and integration of elementary functions, with applications to maxima and minima, rates of change, distance, area, and volume.

234.23 – MATH: Calculus II
This course focuses on the theories and techniques of integration and its applications in determining geometric characteristics such as: length of a curve, area of a surface, area enclosed between a curve/function and an axis, area enclosed between two curves/functions, volume of a solid, work done by any varying force, average value of a function, and a few other quantities of interest. (Prerequisite: 234.22 – MATH: Introduction to Calculus)

234.24 – MATH: Elements of Discrete Mathematics
This course covers “Sets and Functions” (i.e. describing a group of elements and the relationships between elements of sets), “Logic and Proof” (i.e. determining the validity or otherwise of an argument/statement), “Combinatorics” (i.e. counting and arranging objects without listing), “Graph Theory” (i.e. representing and analyzing relationships between objects), and a couple of basic sequences and series.
