Applied Mathematics Specialist (Science Program) - ASSPE2053

The Specialist Program in Applied Mathematics is directed toward students who aim to pursue applied mathematical research as a career.

Students in this program have the option to complete the Arts & Science Internship Program (ASIP) stream.

This is an open enrolment program. A student who has completed 4.0 credits may enrol in the program.

Students are encouraged to take their introductory analysis, algebra, and computer programming in their first year of study ( MAT157Y1, MAT240H1, MAT247H1, CSC108H1, CSC148H1).

13.0-13.5 credits, including at least 1.5 credits at the 400-level

Notes:

  • Not all courses listed have priority enrolment for students enrolled in this program. Students are responsible for checking priority of courses and meeting course prerequisites for courses they wish to take.
  • Each course can count toward only one requirement, even if listed as options to multiple requisites of the program.
  • CSC108H1 is waived for students who complete CSC148H1 first. If a student has not taken a year-long course in programming in secondary school, it is strongly recommended that students take CSC108H1 first.
  • Students may use CR/NCR on the course they use toward the ethics and social responsibility credit.
  • Students in their last year of study with a cGPA of 3.5 or higher may be permitted to take up to 1.5 credits of Math graduate courses. These courses may count toward specialist program requirements, where relevant (e.g., as courses “at the 400-level”). To review eligibility criteria and apply for graduate courses as an undergraduate student, find more information on the A&S Math website.

Courses accepted towards this program’s ethics requirement:
 CSC300H1/​ CSE240H1/​ CSE270H1/​ EEB215H1/​ ENV200H1/​ ESS205H1/​ any ETH200+/ FOR201H1/​ HIS268H1/​ HPS200H1/​ HPS202H1/​ INS200H1/​ JPH441H1/​ PHL265H1/​ PHL271H1/​ PHL273H1/​ PHL275H1/​ PHL281H1/​ PHL295H1/​ SDS256H1/​ another suitable course with permission from the Associate Chair, Undergraduate
