Mathematics-related programs
Students planning to major in a mathematics-related program should take MATH 139 or MATH 140, MATH 141 and MATH 133 if they do not have equivalents for them. Stronger students who are hoping to graduate with in an Honours Mathematics program should consider taking MATH 150 and MATH 151 in place of MATH 140 and MATH 141.
Science Placement Exams
For students wishing to take a placement exam to exempt them from either MATH 122, MATH 123, MATH 133, MATH 140 and/or MATH 141 please visit the Science Placement Exam website.
Courses:
Calculus Courses -- first semester:听Calculus 1
All of these courses require that you to have taken a "functions course" previously.Calculus for Management 1听(MATH 122)
For Faculty of Management students only. Faculty of Management students who want to take the Management Mathematics Minor Concentration, the Mathematics Major Concentration, the Management Statistics Minor Concentration or the Statistics Major Concentration should take MATH 140 instead and continue with MATH 141. The same is true of management students who plan to take Honours or Joint Honours in Economics. Taking MATH 122 cuts you off from taking the regular MATH 140/141/222 and the MATH 150/151 calculus streams and thereby further math courses. MATH 122 is a course covering both differential and integral calculus, but in substantially less depth than the MATH 140, MATH 141 sequence. Trigonometric functions are not discussed in this course. Faculty of management students continue with MATH 123 which covers Linear Algebra and Probability.

Antiderivatives. The definite integral. Techniques of Integration. Applications of differentiation and integration.Trigonometric functions are not discussed in this course.
- Offered by the Faculty of Science. Students intending to pursue the major program or the minor programs offered by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics in the Desautels Faculty of Management should take MATH 140 [or MATH 139] and MATH 141 instead.
- 3 hours lecture, 1 hour tutorial
- Prerequisite: A course in functions.
- Restriction(s): Not open to students who have taken or are taking MATH 139 or MATH 140 or MATH 150 or CEGEP objective 00UN. MATH 139, MATH 140, MATH 141, MATH 150 , and MATH 151 are not open to students who have taken or are taking MATH 122, except by special permission of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. Open to Desautels Faculty of Management students only.
Most students use Visual Schedule Builder (VSB) to organize their schedules. VSB helps you plan class schedules, travel time, and more.
Calculus听(MATH 139)
Equivalent to MATH 140, but for students with no previous knowledge of Calculus. Starting in September 2010, students have a free choice of which of these two courses they take. MATH 139 has 4 credits, 4 hours of lectures/week and 1 hour of tutorials/week. MATH 140 has 3 credits, 3 hours of lectures/week and 1 hour of tutorials/week. There will be a diagnostic test very early in the Fall term to help students to ensure that they are registered in the course more appropriate for their needs.
