Department Objectives

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics provides the general mathematical culture necessary for training those who will either be using the tools of mathematics or statistics in their work or who will become future mathematicians or statisticians. For students who are contemplating graduate work in mathematics or statistics, the Department has leading researchers in the fields of actuarial mathematics, applied probability, computational algebra, differential geometry, dynamical systems, mathematical physics, mathematics education, number theory and statistics.

In addition to its co-op program, alternating work and academic terms, the Department offers a program in Actuarial Mathematics and prepares students for the associateship examinations of the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society. The Department also provides instruction at the remedial and introductory levels to enable students who have been out of school for some time to re-enter the academic stream; and offers special courses for teachers of mathematics who wish to keep abreast of recent ideas and applications.

The Department is proud to participate in the Kaié:ri Nikawerá:ke Indigenous Bridging Program for BSc Mathematics and Statistics students. This program offers alternative entry to eligible Indigenous students, specifically from First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities located in Canada, whose academic path is non-traditional. Students who successfully complete this bridging program will be able to transition to the program of their choice within the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. For admissions criteria, please consult the following pages:

• Kaié:ri Nikawerá:ke Indigenous Bridging Program under Section 14 Alternative Entry
  
• Kaié:ri Nikawerá:ke Indigenous Bridging Program for General BSc, Mathematics and Statistics Stream, under Section 31.002 Programs and Admission Requirements
