No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1993–94 to 1994–95 (before that, 1971–72 to 1973–74 used the number for Algebra, Geometry, and Calculus for Optometry Students); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.

Vectors in 2- and 3-space, and their geometry. Vectors in n-space. Scalar and vector products. Matrices. Systems of linear equations. Determinants. Complex numbers. Applications. Not open to Honours Mathematics students.

As printed in the 1993–94 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.

Difference between Math/BBA Double Degree and Math/Business Single Degree? 2 points, 9 comments

“I'm currently in first year DD and am strongly considering switching to single degree. The stress is just too much for me to handle and is destroying me mentally. …”

u/steakhousebobby123: “Hey I'm first year Math/BBA too! I've actually been considering dropping to a single degree like so many times by now but apparently if your struggling with 135 and 137 you can just drop down to 125 …”

u/mrb2016: “You can take 127 and 128. There are impacts on future courses if you go this route, and there isn't actually a guarantee that you'll do better in those courses. Math 125 doesn't exist.... Anyone in the math faculty needs to pass 135 or 145 to graduate.”

Does UW offer courses in the history of mathematics? 4 points, 7 comments

“I'm interested in learning a bit about mathematical history, as a math student I feel like there's a good deal that can be learned about history. Does the university offer any courses on it?”

u/Madscurr: “Yes, CO 480 is History of Math. The course description: [Note: Offered in the spring term of odd years.] Prereq: MATH 135 or 145, 106/125 or 136 or 146, 138 or 148; Level at least 3A; Not open to General Mathematics students”

Another title: Algebra, Geometry, and Calculus for Optometry Students, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).

A conventional course for freshman Calculus but with more time spent on concepts of algebra and analytic geometry intimately connected with the Calculus. 4 hours/week.
