Mathematics extends far beyond simple numerical concepts. Its fundamental purpose is to uncover and represent universal patterns that help us understand our world, whether these patterns appear in neural electrical activity, wildlife population dynamics, financial market trends, or digital communications. The influence of mathematics stretches well beyond traditional STEM fields into healthcare, commerce, and social sciences.
Progress in mathematical and statistical research has driven numerous innovations we use every day, including medical imaging technology, audio/video compression methods, encrypted digital communications, data analysis techniques, DNA sequencing algorithms, financial derivatives valuation, and countless other advancements.
Our Mathematics and Statistics Department provides specialized programs including Honours degrees, majors, and minors in both disciplines. The statistics Honours program holds accreditation from the Statistical Society of Canada, enabling graduates to obtain the A.Stat professional certification. Additionally, we offer combined Honours programs in mathematics-economics and mathematics-computer science, along with an interdisciplinary financial mathematics and economics program. All Honours programs can incorporate cooperative education opportunities.
Generally, to be admitted to an undergraduate program, you have to meet the following criteria:
• You have obtained or are in the process of obtaining your secondary school diploma or your country’s equivalent diploma.
• You are registered in or have passed at least five courses at the highest secondary school level available to you.
