No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1976–77 to 1994–95; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
This course cannot be used to satisfy any 400-level course requirement in a Computer Science Major program.
As printed in the 1984–85 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.

introductory Notes
1. Certain core mathematics courses are offered at three different fevels. The Advanced Honours level courses are intended for exceptionally gifted students in an Honours program. A Student pursuing an Honours degree may substitute the corresponding Advanced Honours fevel course(s) for any required Honours level course(s). Similarly, a student pursuing a Pass or General degree may substitute the corresponding Honours level course(s) for any required General level course(s), unless the student has been required by the Standings & Promotions Committee to switch from an Honours
program to General or Pass. Jn this case, the student must enrol in General level courses. The following table sets out corresponding Advanced/Honours/ General Courses.
