Bachelor of Mathematics (Advanced)

This challenging Bachelor degree is available to students who have superior mathematical knowledge on entry, allowing the amount of first year mathematics subjects to be significantly reduced. This enables students to take enrichment projects, which provide opportunities to build links with industry and to understand the interaction between mathematics and society. Students will also have close interaction with active academic researchers.

Course Requirements

To qualify for the award of the degree of Bachelor of Mathematics (Advanced), candidates must satisfactorily complete at least 144 credit points from either or both the Mathematics and the General Schedule including:

1. MATH110
2. CSCI114
3. Each of the subjects MATH201, MATH202, MATH203 and MATH204
4. Each of the subjects MATH212, MATH222 and STAT231
5. the subject MATH235 or STAT235
6. the subject MATH345 or STAT345
7. 300 level subjects from the Mathematics Schedule with a value of at least:
   • 36 credit points, or
   • 24 credit points, if there is a major study in Computer Science
   • 30 credit points, if there is any other major study
8. a major study in Mathematics or Statistics (apart from MATH345 and STAT345)
9. no more than 60 credit points at 100 level.
10. continuation in the Bachelor of Mathematics (Advanced) (code 762A) will normally be dependent upon achieving an average of at least 75% each year. Students who do not meet the required average will be transferred to the Bachelor of Mathematics degree (code 762).

Note that a student could do some 300 level subjects in second year.

Course Program

Recommended Program in Mathematics, Statistics plus another discipline
The following is a possible enrolment program for someone doing a "major" in a discipline other than Mathematics, Statistics or Computer Science. [NOTE that a program like this does not mean that the formal requirements for a major in the other discipline will be satisfied. Candidates are advised to check the requirements for a major in other disciplines listed under the Bachelor of Mathematics degree regulations.] Considerable variation is possible.

Recommended Program in Industrial and Applied Mathematics

Recommended Program in Mathematical Analysis

Recommended Program in Applied Statistics

Honours

A fourth year of study, Honours, is available to students who have achieved a Distinction average or better in the BMath(Adv). It is a challenging program, that includes a research project. Students who wish to enter the Honours program should obtain the approval of the Honours Coordinator at the end of their third year.
