COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (Honours) at Trent University is a 20.0-credit program designed to provide advanced training in mathematical theory, problem-solving, and analytical reasoning. It offers a rigorous and structured curriculum that builds from foundational concepts to high-level specialization. Students begin with recommended introductory courses such as MATH 1110H or 1111H and MATH 1120H or 1121H, which establish core skills in calculus and mathematical thinking. The program includes essential coursework such as MATH 1350H, 1550H, 2110H, 2120H, 2200H, 2350H, 2560H, and the capstone-style MATH 4800H, which together strengthen both theoretical and applied mathematical understanding. Students also complete additional supporting credits, including courses like MATH 2150H, 2260H, 2570H, 2600H, or COIS 1020H, which may introduce computational approaches. Advanced specialization is achieved through paired upper-level course sequences such as MATH 3150H with 4120H or 4230H, MATH 3310H with 4360H, MATH 3560H with 4561H, MATH 3790H with 4790H, or MATH 3630H with 4630H. Additional upper-level credits ensure depth in advanced mathematical areas. The program emphasizes logical reasoning, abstract thinking, and quantitative analysis, preparing students for complex problem-solving in academic and applied contexts. In addition to program requirements, students must complete university-wide degree requirements, including 0.5 credit from an Approved Indigenous Course List and 14.0 science credits. Graduates are well prepared for careers in data science, finance, research, technology, education, and graduate studies in mathematics or related fields.
