Introduction to the concepts of learning, person perception, attitudes and motivation in an organization. Consideration of communication, roles, norms and decision making within a group. Discussion of power, control, leadership and Management in tight of the above concepts.
Axiomatic development of probability. Conditional probability, Bayes' Theorem and independence. Discrete and continuous random variables. Special cases of uniform, binomial, Poisson, and normal mathematical expectation. Derived distributions. Sampling from normal populations. Estimating parameters and testing hypotheses.
This course is designed to satisfy Englneering Economics requirements of the Canadian Accreditation Board. Price and output decisions. Choosing among alternative inputs and production processes. Evaluating alternative investments, equipment service life, and new products.
Macro theories of organization and organizational processes are discussed. First half of course examines the development of organizational theories. The second half discusses organizational processes such as conflict and communication control. Throughout, an effort is made to relate course material to organizational structures.
Prereq: M SCI 271
The Operations Research approach to problem solving. Deterministic mathematical programming including Jinear programming, transportation method, assignment problem, network methods, and dynamic programming. Elements of deterministic inventory models.
Classification of stochastic processes. Recurrent events including birth and death processes, and branching processes. Waiting line models and applications. Markov processes and decision problems. Applications include inventory control, reliability, equipment replacement, maintenance, design of service facilities, etc.
Prereq: M SCI 251 or equivalent and M SCI 331
introduction to a number of problem areas in the management of production/industrial engineering. Topics chosen from production planning and inventory control, planning/ control of large projects, quality control, reliability/maintenance, facilities layout, job design, production standards and work measurement.
Prereq: M SCI 331
Structures, functions and processes of development of computer hardware, software and databases for the management of information. Concepts of information, humans as information processors, information management concepts, introduction to information systems analysis.
Review of probability, distribution theory, and classical statistical inference methods. Linear statistical models, analysis of variance, regression. Bayesian analysis, contingent decision making, value of information, utility and risk.
Prereq: M SCI 251 or equivalent
The course is concerned with cost minimizing choices of inputs to production. Topics to be considered are: production functions and cost functions; the relation between “size” and unit cost; labour inputs, labour as a quasi-fixed input; productivity measurement; learning-bydoing; capital inputs, investment rules, capacity decisions under scale economies.

introductory Notes
1. Courses with the following prefixes are offered by the Faculty of Mathematics: ACTSC (Actuarial Science), AM (Applied Mathematics), C&O (Combinatorics and Optimization), CS (Computer Science), MATH (non-departmental Faculty courses), MTHEL (Mathematics Elective), PMATH (Pure Mathematics), STAT (Statistics). The course descriptions appear in ascending order by course number within these groups. Unless otherwise indicated with the course . description, and provided space is available (see Section 6.3 on page 13:38), these courses are normally open to students in any UW faculty, subject to stated prerequisite requirements (see Section 6.4 on page 13:38).
2. A number of mathematics courses are offered at three different levels for BMath degree credit to accommodate the wide variety of students interested in such cou'ses. The most challenging level, Advanced, is intended for exceptionally gifted students in an Honours program. The second level, Honours, is intended for all Honours students not taking the Advanced courses. The third level, General, is intended for students registered in the three-
year General program. In some instances, there are also other versions of such courses designed for students in faculties other than Mathematics.
Advanced courses may always be substituted in lieu of corresponding Honours courses to satisfy Honours BMath degree requirements. Neither the Advanced nor Honours courses listed in Tables I! and Ill, on pages 13:10 and 13:11, are open to students registered in the threeyear BMath General program. However, in cases where a student registers in the General program following registrations in an Honours program, any successfully completed Advanced or Honours courses may be substituted in lieu of the corresponding General required courses to satisfy threeyear BMath General degree
requirements.

Prerequisites involving these core courses will normally be given in terms of the lowest hierarchy level acceptable (e.g. ‘Prereq: MATH 237' implies that MATH 247 is also acceptable but MATH 227 is not).
3. Courses offered by the Faculty of Mathematics which have been designed with the academic needs and backgrounds of students in other faculties. in mind are identified by a note foliowing the course description. Courses in this category include: CS 100, 102, 212, 316; MATH 103, 104, 106, 111A/B, 113A/B, 114, 115A/B, 116, 118, 210, 211, 212, 213A/B, 215, 216; STAT 202, 204, 304, 311.
