Concentration in Mathematics for Teachers

The following selection of courses is aimed at practising mathematics teachers who are teaching at the junior to senior levels and who wish to enrich their skills in the face of a continually changing curriculum. These courses are also aimed at students who are studying towards becoming teachers with a mathematics specialization.

The plan is sensitive to schools' current curricular needs in mathematics. It is also mindful of the increasing importance of computer-related studies at schools.

Mathematics courses in the concentration:

AK/MATH 1710 6.00, AK/AS/SC/MATH 1300 3.00 and AK/AS/SC/MATH 1310 3.00, AK/AS/SC/MATH 2221 3.00 and AK/AS/SC/MATH 2222 3.00, AK/AS/SC/MATH 1090 3.00, AK/MATH 3400 6.00 (strongly recommended), and one of AK/AS/SC/MATH 3210 3.00, AK/AS/SC/MATH 3020 6.00, AK/AS/SC/MATH 3050 6.00 (strongly recommended), AK/MATH 4060 6.00.

Computer science courses in the concentration:

AK/AS/SC/CSE 1020 3.00 and AK/AS/SC/CSE 1030 3.00 and three of: AK/AS/SC/CSE 2001 3.00, AK/AS/SC/CSE 2011 3.00, AK/AS/SC/CSE 2021 4.00, AK/AS/SC/CSE 3121 3.00, AK/AS/SC/CSE 3122 3.00, AK/AS/SC/CSE 3402 3.00.
