March 2023 Changes

 

New/Expanded Focuses

The following new focuses were approved during the 2022 Fall and 2023 Winter rounds of governance. Four existing focuses currently made available to students enrolled in the Computer Science Specialist would be expanded to students enrolled in the Computer Science Major. The Focus in International Economy, currently made available to students enrolled in the International Relations Specialist, would be expanded to students enrolled in the International Relations Major. Note that the approved new/expanded focuses could be subject to further revisions leading up to the official publication of the 2023-24 Academic Calendar in May 2023. 

Focus in Computer Systems (Major) - ASFOC1689P [Preview]

(3.0 credits)

Software systems are complex and interesting. Poorly done systems can be incredibly expensive: they can cost society billions of dollars and sometimes make the difference between life and death. Rapid changes in technology and applications means that the underlying systems must continually adapt. This focus takes you under the covers of software systems, laying bare the layers and introducing you to concurrency issues, scalability, multiprocessor systems, distributed computing, and more.

Focus in Theory of Computation (Major) - ASFOC1689R [Preview]

(3.5 credits)

Why is it easy to sort a list of numbers, but hard to break Internet encryption schemes? Is finding a solution to a problem harder than checking that a solution is correct? Can we find good approximate solutions, even when the exact solutions seem out of reach? Theory of Computation studies the inherent complexity of fundamental algorithmic problems. On one hand, we develop ground-breaking efficient data structures and algorithms. On the other, we have yet to develop good algorithms for many problems despite decades of effort, and for these problems we strive to prove no time- or space-efficient algorithms will ever solve them. While the field has seen some successful impossibility results, there are still many problems (such as those underlying modern cryptography and security) for which we do not know either efficient algorithms or strong lower bounds!

This focus takes a rigorous, mathematical approach to computational problem-solving: students will gain a deep understanding of algorithm paradigms and measures of problem complexity, and develop the skills necessary to convey abstract ideas with precision and clarity. Many of our students go on to graduate studies and sophisticated algorithmic work in industry. This focus has natural ties with many branches of mathematics and is the foundation of many computer science fields. Consequently, our students often apply their theoretical knowledge to other fields of interest.

We advise you to take CSC240H1 and CSC265H1, the enriched versions of CSC236H1 and CSC263H1, because these courses are particularly well-aligned with the goals of this focus and will best prepare you for advanced theory courses. However, students who have already taken CSC236H1/CSC236H5/CSCB36H3 or CSC263H1/CSC263H5/CSCB63H3 are also welcome to enrol in the focus.

Enrolment Requirements:

Enrolment in the Computer Science Major Program (ASMAJ1689).

Completion Requirements:
  1. CSC373H1, CSC463H1
  2. 2.5 credits from the following:
    • CSC304H1, CSC310H1, CSC336H1, CSC436H1, CSC438H1/ MAT309H1, CSC448H1, CSC473H1, MAT332H1, MAT344H1
    • at UTM: MAT302H5
    • graduate courses: CSC2221H, CSC2240H, CSC2401H, CSC2410H, CSC2412H, CSC2420H, CSC2421H, CSC2426H, CSC2451H, CSC2556H (Note that students must contact cs.undergrad@utoronto.ca during the course enrolment period to request permission to take a graduate course.)

Students who complete an independent study project (CSC494H1/ CSC495H1) under the supervision of a faculty member from the Theory group may request to substitute one of CSC494H1/ CSC495H1 for one of the courses in list 2 above. This request must be made directly to the department's Undergraduate Office.

Students who complete a graduate Topics course in Theory may request to count it towards the completion of list 2 above. This request must be made directly to the department's Undergraduate Office.

Focus in Web and Internet Technologies (Major) - ASFOC1689S [Preview]

(3.0 credits)

The Web and Internet Technologies focus introduces students to the systems and algorithms that power today's large-scale web and Internet applications such as search engines, social networking applications, web data mining applications, and content distribution networks. The focus covers the architecture of the systems, algorithms and protocols, and machine learning techniques underlying these applications.

Students who wish to pursue the Focus in Web and Internet Technologies should have a solid understanding of statistics, be good programmers, and have a good understanding of data structures and algorithm design.

To get practical experience, students pursuing the web and Internet technologies focus are encouraged to do either a CSC494H1/CSC495H1: Computer Science Project course or a summer USRA/UTEA project in web and internet technologies.

Focus in Law and History (Major) - ASFOC0652B [Preview]

The Focus in Law and History gives students the critical skill-set to interrogate the ‘force of law’, not only in the sense of law as enforced, but also as a vehicle of cultural, social, and economic knowledge. Importantly, it will ask students to interrogate assumptions of what counts as law across time and space. At the core of this Focus to the Major are fundamental questions of both law and society: Who has law? What does (or should) it look like? Who decides? What sorts of critical histories can be written from and about legal archives that span time, space, and language tradition?

Enrolment Requirements:

Enrolment in the History Major is required.

Completion Requirements:

3.0 credits

Physics Specialist (Science Program) - ASSPE1944 [Preview]

The Physics Specialist Program offers rigorous training in the full spectrum of core physics subfields, as well as their numerous important applications. Practical courses treat the experimental and computational aspects and complement the lecture courses. Physics concerns many of the most fundamental questions in our scientific understanding of the universe. What is the nature of matter and energy at the smallest scales? What are the physical processes that govern the Earth’s climate? What is the nature of light and how can it be controlled? How do the collective properties of solids emerge from those of individual atoms? How do biological processes organize themselves to maintain their survival? What is the structure and evolution of the Earth and the other planets? How can quantum information be used for computation? Physics seeks answers to these questions using a combination of theory, computation and precise experimental work, and the results find application across all of science.
