Mathematics and Statistics - Arts


The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers Honours BA and BA degree programs in four major subjects:

The degree programs in each major are listed separately. A student should choose one of these majors based on interest and employment goals; but it is possible to change a major provided the requirements of the desired major can be met.

For more information, please refer to the department's supplemental calendar. Also see the department's home page on the Web at http://www.math.yorku.ca.

Applied Mathematics BA Programs

Program Core

All major degree candidates, except for the Honours Minor, must complete the program core:

In addition, all degree candidates must select a number of credits (depending on the program) from mathematics (MATH) courses without second digit 5 at the 3000 level or higher.

Specialized Honours BA Program

Note: If AS/MATH 1010 3.00 is substituted for AS/MATH 1014 3.00 in the program core, then AS/MATH 3110 3.00 is not required for fulfillment of the Specialized Honours BA program requirements.

Honours BA Program

Honours Double Major BA Program

The Honours BA program described above may be pursued jointly with any other Honours bachelor's degree program in the Faculties of Arts, Environmental Studies or Fine Arts.

Honours Major/Minor BA Program

The Honours BA program described above may be pursued jointly with any Honours Minor bachelor's degree program in the Faculties of Arts, Environmental Studies, Fine Arts, or with a minor in biology, chemistry, or physics and astronomy in the Faculty of Science and Engineering.

Honours Minor BA Program

The Honours Minor must be pursued jointly with an Honours Major/Minor BA program in the Faculty of Arts.

The Honours Minor in applied mathematics consists of:

Note: Faculty of Arts legislation requires that, in order to obtain an Honours BA (120 credits), students must take a total of at least 18 credits at the 4000 level, including at least 12 credits at the 4000 level in each Honours major or Specialized Honours major.

BA Program

Mathematics BA Programs

Mathematics Honours Program Core

Note: If AS/MATH 1010 3.00 is replaced by another calculus course, then AS/MATH 3110 3.00 must be taken as part of the Honours program core. If one or more of AS/MATH 1021 3.00 or AS/MATH 2022 3.00 is replaced by other linear algebra courses and if the grades obtained were less than A, then two of AS/MATH 1090 3.00, AS/MATH 1190 3.00, AS/MATH 2090 3.00 or AS/MATH 2320 3.00 must be taken as part of the Honours program core.

Specialized Honours BA Program

  • the mathematics Honours program core;
  • one of AS/MATH 4010 6.00 or AS/MATH 4020 6.00;
  • and 24 additional credits in mathematics (MATH) courses without second digit 5, including at least six credits at the 4000 level.

Honours BA Program

  • the mathematics Honours program core;
  • six additional credits in mathematics (MATH) courses without second digit 5 at the 4000 level.

Honours Double Major BA Program

The Honours BA program described above may be pursued jointly with any other Honours bachelor's degree program in the Faculties of Arts, Environmental Studies or Fine Arts.

Honours Double Major BA Interdisciplinary Programs

The Honours BA program described above may be linked with any Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA program in the Faculty of Arts. Students must take at least 42 credits in mathematics and at least 36 credits in the interdisciplinary program. Courses taken to meet mathematics requirements cannot also be used to meet the requirements of the interdisciplinary program. Students in these interdisciplinary programs must take a total of at least 18 credits at the 4000 level, including at least 12 credits in mathematics and six credits in the interdisciplinary program. For further details of requirements, see the listings for specific Honours Double Major Interdisciplinary BA programs.

Honours Major/Minor BA Program

The Honours BA program described above may be pursued jointly with any Honours Minor bachelor's degree program in the Faculties of Arts, Environmental Studies, Fine Arts, or with a minor in biology, chemistry, or physics and astronomy in the Faculty of Science and Engineering.

Honours Minor BA Program

The Honours Minor must be pursued jointly with an Honours BA program in the Faculty of Arts.

The Honours Minor in mathematics requires:

Note: Faculty of Arts legislation requires that, in order to obtain an Honours BA (120 credits), students must take a total of at least 18 credits at the 4000 level, including at least 12 credits at the 4000 level in each Honours major or Specialized Honours major.

BA Program

Note: Students who have taken AS/MATH 1530 3.00 and AS/MATH 1540 3.00 or AS/MATH 1550 6.00 may not take AS/MATH 1300 3.00, but will be considered to have credit for AS/MATH 1300 3.00 and may take AS/MATH 1310 3.00.
