Math 138 vs. 128 2 points, 15 comments
“I’m in the Double Degree BBA/CS program and struggled with Math 137, and was wondering if taking Math 128 would be any better. …”

u/tendstofortytwo: “MATH 126 does not exist..?”
u/tendstofortytwo: “Yes. Those are the calc 2 course options. I'm talking about the linear algebra course option. No MATH 126, 116, or 106. Only 136 or 146.”

Transfering to Waterloo 10 points, 19 comments
“My friend is interested in transferring to Earth Science at Waterloo after first year at McMaster Life Science and we have some questions. …”
u/PancakesGhost: “75-80 average in Uni? Reasonably high, I'd say. For a first year transfer, they'd likely look at uni grades first (which are expected to be lower than high school ones; most programs that had a low …”
u/PancakesGhost: “… Depending on what Math they took, they'd also cover the MATH 126 equirement. They would need to do some of the Earth Sci core courses during their first year here, but should be able to graduate on time/with only one extra term. …”

Switching from engineering to computer science? 5 points, 8 comments
“I know that the computer science major needs a term in which you take 2 math courses 1 cs course and 2 non math electives. The math courses need a 65% average and the cs courses need a 70% average. …”
u/deceptikun: “hey. i'm actually doing the same thing you are. hopefully i can help. are you on a transfer term now? (if so a lot of this is probably shit you already know. …”
u/parahillObjective: “1) So are you taking math 135, math 137 and CS 135 with two electives(this is required to get into CS by the way as well as having math 126)? 2) Did they say you are guaranteed a spot if you get a 65 in the maths and a 70 in the CS and just passing the electives? …”

Opinions about Waterloo's math program? 6 points, 31 comments
“Hi, I'm a high school student trying to decide where I want to go next year. I'm planning on studying math and am seriously considering Waterloo. …”
u/8pi: “Applied Math major in the Math faculty here! Decimater pretty much covered everything I wanted to say, but I wanted to toss in that I took PMATH 340 (Elementary Number Theory) in my first year and it …”
u/mcpherrinm: “You're reading the prereqs wrong: it's (Math 225/126) or (Math 135) or (Math 145) So yeah, you have to argue your way into the 14x classes if you don't score a 70 on the Euclid. …”
