Mathematics First Year Course Descriptions

MATH 1036 E Calculus I


This is a problem-solving course in which an extensive treatment of differential calculus and an introduction to integral calculus is given. The course includes limits, continuity, differentiation, standard functions,Taylor polynomial approximation, indeterminate forms and L'Hopital's rules, and practical applications. The course concludes with summation, integration, techniques of integration and the calculation of areas and volumes. Prerequisite: At least 60% in (OAC/U level Calculus or MATH 1912 or equivalent). (lec 3, tut 1) cr 3


MATH 1037 E Calculus II


The course begins with further techniques of integration, approximate integration, improper integrals and techniques for solving some simple first-order differential equations. This is followed by parametric and polar curves, and calculations of arc length, surface area and volume. Sequences, series, power series and Taylor series are then introduced. The course concludes with elementary aspects of functions of several variables. Prerequisite: MATH 1036. (lec 3, tut 1) cr 3


MATH 1056 E Discrete Mathematics I


This course will cover the following topics: elementary logic and circuits; set theory and functions; mathematical induction; combinatorics; binomial theorem; the solution of elementary recurrence relations; introduction to probability theory. For prerequisite purposes, MATH 1911 and 1912 are treated as equivalent to their associated OAC/U level. Students may not receive credits for both MATH 1056 and COSC 1056. (lec 3) cr 3


MATH 1057 E Linear Algebra I


This course will cover the following topics: simultaneous linear equations; matrices and determinants; vector spaces and linear transformations; eigenvalues and eigenvectors; applications to analytic geometry and complex numbers. Prerequisite: At least 60% in (Finite Mathematics OAC/U level or Algebra OAC/U level or MATH 1911 or equivalent). (lec 3) cr 3


MATH 1911 E Finite Mathematics


The following topics will be studied: introductory algebra and trigonometry; matrices and systems of linear equations; descriptive statistics and elementary probability. This course may not be taken by students with 60% or more in Finite Mathematics OAC/U level or equivalent. Students registered in degree programs in Mathematics or Computer Science will not receive credit for MATH 1911 except under such special circumstances as may be approved by the department chair. For prerequisite purposes, this course is equivalent to the Finite Mathematics OAC/U level. (lec 3) cr 3


MATH 1912 E Elementary Calculus


The course begins with limits, differential calculus, extrema, related rates and curve sketching. The course concludes with an introduction to integration. This course may not be taken by students with 60% or more in Calculus OAC/U level or equivalent. Students registered in degree programs in Mathematics or Computer Science will not receive credit for MATH 1912 except under such special circumstances as may be approved by the department chair. For prerequisite purposes, this course is equivalent to Calculus OAC/U level. (lec 3) cr 3
