The Honours in Mathematics recognizes undergraduate students who develop a breadth of knowledge through coursework and research. Students considering graduate work or industrial research gain experience and confidence in working in areas where the outcome is unknown.

Entry to the Mathematics Honours Program takes place after completion of 60 credit hours and requires a minimum Cumulative GPA of 3.33 over the previous 30 credit hours, and the permission of the Department Chair. Candidates are required to consult with their Student Advisor prior to applying for the program. Attaining the minimum requirement does not guarantee entry to the Honours Program, which is at the discretion of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and depends on the availability of a supervisor. Faculty members are under no obligation to supervise Honours students. To remain in the Honours Program requires the maintenance of a minimum Cumulative GPA of 3.33.

To be awarded the BSc Honours degree students will

complete 126 credit hours

satisfy the requirements for a BSc in Mathematics

within the existing 400-level requirements take

• one of MATH 420-3 Structure of Groups and Rings or MATH 421-3 Field Theory
• one of MATH 402-3 Topological and Normed Linear Spaces or MATH 403-3 Measure Theory and Integration
• one of STAT 471-3 Linear Models, or STAT 472-3 Survey Sampling Design and Analysis, or STAT 473-3 Experimental Design and Analysis

complete 6 credit hours of MATH 530 or STAT 530, with the outcome of one undergraduate thesis under the supervision of a faculty member.

Note: Because faculty are under no obligation to supervise undergraduate theses, students are encouraged to find an Undergraduate Thesis supervisor well in advance of completing 90 credit hours.

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics provides undergraduate and postgraduate instruction and training in pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and statistics. A Bachelor of Science degree is available in Mathematics, as well as joint BSc degrees in Mathematics and Physics, Economics and Mathematics, Chemistry and Mathematics, and Computer Science and Mathematics.
