The Department of Mathematics and Statistics approved at the Departmental
meeting on February 4, 1985 the following item
1) New prerequisite for MATH 190, Principles of Mathematics for
Teachers I ?
-
The proposed new prerequisite for MATH 190-3, Principles of Mathematics
for Teachers I is: "B.C. High School Algebra 11 or equivalent."
Rationale:
This prerequisite, which was needed all along, closes a loophole for
mature students; for all other students B.C. High School Algebra 11 is already
part of the admission requirements.

Dean of Engineering Science Don George has indicated that it would be
useful to remove MATH 262, Engineering Mechanics I, as a prerequisite for MATH
263, Engineering Mechanics II, since this would provide greater
flexibility in
scheduling for Engineering Science students. Our proposal does so for any
student with a CGPA > 2.8.
2b) We wish to change the course descriptions for
MATH
262 and 263 as
follows:
/
?
MATH 262 Engineering Mechanics I:
From: Vectors. Reduction of force systems, equipollent systems of
forces. Plane statics, free body diagram, trusses, frames,
friction. Statics in space. Beams and cables. Kinematics of
particles.

Second moriients of area.
MATH 263 Engineering Mechanics XI:
From: Moments of inertia. Principles of dynamics; work and energy.
Newton's laws. Kinematics and kinetics of rigid bodies, plane
motion of rigid bodies. (Dynamics of Rigid Bodies is the main
topic for this course.)

Bodies is the i,a4n-topic for this course).
Rationale:
The material covered over both courses stays essentially the same with
some material switched between MATH 262 and 263. The old order was dictated
by the desire to delay topics requiring knowledge of integral calculus. This
we find is no longer necessary. The new order of topics coincides with the
order in the text, makes MATH 262 a course in Statics only, with increased
value as a prerequisite for MATH 265, Engineering Mechanics III.

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics approved at the Departmental
meeting on February 4, 1985 the following items:
Proposed new course MATH 110-3, Introductory Mathematics for the Social
and Management Sciences, (3..Q —
+. For details see enclosed course
proposal form.
Rationale:
A course like MATH 110 was requested by the Department of Psychology
since Trigonometry (which is part of MATH 100) is of very minor importance in
the Social and Management sciences, while some elementary discrete mathematics
is quite important. MATH 110 prepares students for most introductory
statistics courses and for MATH 157, Calculus for Social Sciences I.

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at its meeting of June 10, 1985
approved the two new courses:
(0-1-0)
MATH
161-0 (0-0--I-) BDnors Supplement for Calculus I
MATH
162-0 (0-0--+) Honors Supplement for Calculus II
(0-1-0)
which I herewith submit to the faculty committee for approval.
Rationale: Like some other Universities, we want to offer "Honors Calculus" to
the brighter students who are eager to learn the material in greater depth and
to do more challenging problems. This has been done on an informal basis over
the last few semesters; however students would like to get some kind of
recognition for the extra work done. To this end we propose an Honors
Supplement for Calculus I and II which in synchronicity with Calculus I and II
(MATH 151 and 152), in weekly meetings, analyzes and solves more challenging
problems and provides a deeper coverage of topics.
[1
?
Course Outlines:
?
MATH 161/
MATH
162
HONORS SUPPLEMENT FOR CALCULUS 1/
CALCULUS II
This course is a laboratory course offered each Fall!
Spring
and meets one hour
each week. The purpose of the lab is to cover at a deeper level the topics
taught in the differential calculus/
integral calculus.
Students spend most of
each hour working on challenging problems relating to the material of MATH 151
(Calculus
I)/
MATH
152 (Calculus II)
under the lab instructor's guidance. Also
members of the faculty give talks regularly, which provide the student with an
enriched mathematical experience. The students are expected to continue working
on the problems in the Calculus Lab.
?
They are also expected to use and
experiment with existing computer software--such as REDUCE and MACSYMA--as well
as the system which comes with the textbook, to acquire and increase their
intuition for calculus. (Time is specifically scheduled for this purpose). In
addition the problems provide the students with enjoyment and valuable
experiences. Working on hard problems greatly increases speed and accuracy when
doing problems encountered in the students' other subjects.
MATH 161/
MATH
162
carries no credit.
?
It is graded
on a pass (P)/w4t-h&awn--(W-)--ba6-i.s-.- No Entry basis.
Prerequisite for MATH 161: Concurrent registration for MATH 151
and a grade of A in Algebra 12.
Prerequisite for MATH 162: Concurrent registration for MATH 152
and a grade of A- or better in
MATH 151.

course offered each Fall and meets
one hour each week. The purpose of the lab is to cover at a
deeper level the topics taught in the differential calculus.
Students spend most of each hour working on challenging problems
relating to the material of MATH 151 (Calculus I) under the lab
instructor's guidance. Also members of the faculty give talks
regularly, which provide the student with an enriched
mathematical experience. The students are expected to continue
working on the problems in the Calculus Lab and use the existing
microcomputer software t

for calculus. ?
(Time is specifically scheduled for this
purpose). In addition the problems provide the students with
enjoyment and valuable experiences. Working on hard problems
greatly increases speed and accuracy when doing problems
encountered in the students' other subjects.

Students wishing to register for Mathematics courses mus' have obtained
grades of C- or better in prerequisite courses. Students will not normally be
permitted to enrol in any MATH course for which a D grade or lower was
obtained in any prerequisite.
ENTRY LEVEL REQUIREMENTS IN MATHEMATICS
MATH 100, MATH 101, MATH 110, MATH 113 and MATH 190 all have B.C. High
School Algebra 11 (or equivalent) as prerequisite. Students lacking this
background may take the non-credit Basic Math Course offered through
Continuing Studies, AQ 6050. Students with a grade of P in B.C. High School
Algebra 11 should take the Math Assessment Test discussed below.
The prerequisite for MATH 102 is B.C. High School Algebra 12 (or
equivalent), or MATH 100 or MATH 110. Students with a grade of P in B.C. High
School Algebra 12 should take the Math Assessment Test.
The prerequisite for MATH 144 is B.C. High School Algebra 12 (or
equivalent), or MATH 100.
MATH 151 and MATH 154 have as prerequisite B.C. High School Algebra 12
(or equivalent) with a grade of at least B , or MATH 100 (not MATH 110).
MATH 157 prerequisite is B.C. High School Algebra 12 (or equivalent) with
a grade of at least
?
or MATH 100 or MATH 110.
Students who are unsure of their level of preparation are encouraged to
take the free Math Assessment Test at the Basic Math Lab, K 9507 (or the
Evening Resource Center P 9310 if the Lab is closed).
Courses marked with an asterisk (*) are intended to be particularly
accessible to students who are not specializing in Mathematics.
**Students with grades of C or C+ in B.C. High School Algebra 12 (or
equivalent) have the right to register concurrently in MATH 100 or MATH 110
and either MATH 151, 154 or 157. However, this is usually unwise, and
students are advised to consult with the department before undertaking such
concurrent registration.
