Course
MATH 101
MATH 101
Mathematics for Business
Course Credits: 3
Basic concepts in mathematics with applications in business. Topics include elementary counting and probability, variables, equations and functions, interest rates, annuities, and loan calculations. The course is aimed at business students and serves to enhance a student's understanding of mathematics and its usefulness in a business environment.
Prerequisite(s): At least a C in BC Principles of Mathematics 11, Foundations of Math 11, PreCalculus 11 or equivalent. (3-0 or 3 0)
MATH 102
MATH 102
Introduction to Probability and Statistics
Course Credits: 3
Students will explore probability theory, descriptive and inferential statistics at an introductory level; applications are taken from a wide range of disciplines. Topics include descriptive analysis, scientific visualization, sets, permutations and combinations, probability, discrete and continuous distributions (e.g. binomial, normal, t), confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, correlation and linear regression. Not for credit towards a major, concentration, or minor in Mathematics.
Cross-listed: STAT 102
NB: Credit is granted for only one of MATH 102 or MATH 108.
MATH 105
MATH 105
Pre-Calculus Mathematics
Course Credits: 3
An introduction to the tools essential for the study of calculus. Topics include algebra, trigonometry, exponents, logarithms, functions, graphs, conics, and plane analytic geometry. This course is taken by Science majors whose screening test during registration indicates they are not ready to take MATH 123.
Prerequisite(s): At least a B in BC Principles of Mathematics 11, Foundations of Math 11, PreCalculus 11 or equivalent. (4-0; 0-0)
MATH 108
MATH 108
Statistics for Health Care Students
Course Credits: 3
Students specializing in the field of nursing will explore applied statistics at an introductory level. The focus is on developing the conceptual aspects of the subject rather than the mathematical foundations and assumes no prerequisite except elementary algebra. Topics include descriptive statistics, probability, the normal, t-, chi-square and F-distributions, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, correlation, and regression. Applications are directed towards health and biological studies.
Cross-listed: STAT 108
Prerequisite(s): At least a C in BC Principles of Mathematics 11, Foundations of Math 11, PreCalculus 11 or equivalent.
NB: Credit may be received for only one of MATH 102 or MATH 108. Only open to nursing students.
MATH 123
MATH 123
Calculus I
Course Credits: 3
This course addresses functions, limits and continuity, derivatives and applications, and integrals and applications.

Course Credits: 3
Transcendental functions, integration techniques, polar co-ordinates, sequences, series, and Taylor series.
Prerequisite(s): MATH 123 (0-0-0; 4-0-1)
MATH 150
MATH 150
Introduction to Discrete Math
Course Credits: 3
An introduction to those branches of pure mathematics which are most commonly used in the study of Computing Science and/or have other practical applications. Topics include logic, proofs, switching circuits, set theory, induction, functions, languages, finite automata, combinatorics, and algebraic structures.
Cross-listed: CMPT 150

NB: Not offered every year. See department chair
MATH 190
MATH 190
Mathematics for Elementary Teachers
Course Credits: 3
Mathematical concepts and topics that undergird the elementary school mathematics curriculum. Topics include principles and applications of number systems, sets, equations, linear programming, geometry, and mathematical proof within a historical and societal context. It may not be used to meet a mathematics requirement in any other program. Students are responsible for checking the mathematics requirements of the school at which they intend to take their professional year, as they may be different from those required to obtain a teaching certificate.
Prerequisite(s): At least a C in BC Principles of Mathematics 11, Foundations of Math 11, PreCalculus 11 or equivalent. (4-0 or 4-0)
NB: Credit is granted for only one of MATH 101, 102, 108, or 190. Open to declared Elementary Education majors only.

MATH 191
Mathematics, History & Culture
Course Credits: 3
Investigates the history of some of the principal mathematical societies, including ancient Egypt, Babylon, and Greece; pre-modern Islamic societies, India, and China; indigenous cultures; and the modern west, providing context for students’ performance of arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. Students shall discover how mathematics is shaped by, and itself shapes, historical movements, philosophical positions, and issues of faith
NB: Credit cannot be received for both Math 190 and Math 191. This course cannot count towards a MATH minor, concentration, major or CMPT program
