COURSE CURRICULUM

The Specialization in Mathematics (BSc) at Nipissing University requires students to complete 120 credits, including 54 credits within the specialization, with a minimum average of 60%. The program includes a core mathematics group covering foundational courses such as Calculus, Linear Algebra, Discrete Mathematics, Advanced Calculus, and Probability & Statistics. Students choose one of three streams: Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, or General. The Pure Mathematics stream features courses like Geometry, Number Theory, Real Analysis, and Algebra. The Applied Mathematics stream emphasizes Combinatorics, Programming in C++, Differential Equations, and Probability & Statistics. The General stream combines elements from both pure and applied mathematics, along with computer science courses. Additionally, students must complete six credits from selected science courses such as Biology, Chemistry, or Physics, and another six credits from various science disciplines to ensure a broad scientific foundation. Breadth requirements include ACAD 1601, humanities, social sciences or professional studies, and electives totaling 42 credits. Group III offers options like the History of Mathematics and problem-solving courses, while Group IV contains advanced research courses including Numerical Methods, Measure Theory, Functional Analysis, and Research Projects. This comprehensive program is designed to provide a strong mathematical foundation and scientific knowledge, preparing students for diverse careers in science, technology, and research.
